Introduction to Exosomes
Exosomes are small vesicles, approximately 30-150 nm in diameter, secreted by various types of cells. They encapsulate proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids from their cells of origin. Present in almost all biological fluids—blood, urine, saliva, milk, ascites, tears, and more—exosomes facilitate a novel intercellular communication system, influencing physiological states and disease progression.

Why Focus on Exosome Omics?
Combining transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics provides a holistic view of human tissue and cell structure, gene function, and molecular interactions. This integrative approach to studying exosomes aids in deciphering mechanisms of disease onset, offering new avenues for biomarker discovery, drug delivery systems, disease therapy, and physiological regulation.
Technical Challenges and Solutions in Exosome Research
Extracting and characterizing exosomes pose specific challenges due to their small size and complex composition. Our service incorporates:
1. Extraction Methods
Including ultracentrifugation—the gold standard, polymer precipitation, and cutting-edge TiO2 enrichment for material-specific exosome isolation.
2. Characterization Techniques
Adhering to the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles' (ISEV) 2018 guidelines, we employ a range of characterization methods such as electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and Western blotting to ensure detailed profiling of exosomes.
