Exoquick plasma prep and exosome precipitation kit

Manufactured by System Biosciences
Sourced in United States

The ExoQuick Plasma prep and Exosome precipitation kit is a laboratory tool designed to isolate and concentrate exosomes from plasma samples. The kit utilizes a proprietary polymer-based precipitation method to selectively precipitate exosomes, allowing for their separation from the sample. The isolated exosomes can then be used for further analysis or downstream applications.

We used 500 µL of frozen human plasma to obtain EVs for protein analysis. EVs were precipitated by using ExoQuick™ Plasma Prep and Exosome Precipitation Kit (EXOQ5TM-1, System Biosciences Inc., Mountainview, CA, United States), which allow EV isolation at low gravitational centrifugal forces (Peterson et al., 2015 (link)). Plasma samples were first treated with thrombin and incubated at room temperature for 5–10 min. Then, samples were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 minutes and the supernatant was transferred into a clean tube for EV isolation. After this, we added 126 µL of ExoQuick solution to each thrombin-treated plasma sample, mixing well by inverting the tube, and incubated the resulting mixture for 30 min at 4°C. Tubes were kept upright during incubation. Then, vials were centrifuged at 1,500 × g for 30 min, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After the centrifugation, EVs appeared as pellets at the bottom of the tube. The supernatant was aspirated from each tube, and each pellet was resuspended in 500 µL of 1 x phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Samples were then stored at −80°C. We used TSG101 (EV and exosome marker) ELISA to confirm the presence of EVs in the samples.

Plasma was isolated within 2 h of blood draw by centrifugation of whole blood at 1,200 g for 10 min, followed by another centrifugation of the supernatant at 2,000 g for 10 min. The supernatant was taken as plasma and stored at −80°C for future use. Two hundred microliter of plasma from each case was used. Prior to exosome precipitation, plasma samples were treated with RNase A to remove free circulating RNAs and then RNase A was inactivated with RNase inhibitor. Exosomes were isolated using the Total Exosome Isolation Kit (from plasma) (Invitrogen™) following manufacturer's instructions. For the validation cohort at Mayo Clinic, US, exosomes were isolated using ExoQuick Plasma prep and Exosome precipitation kit (System Biosciences) without RNase pre-treatment.

For the extraction of exosomes from human plasma and cell culture media, first, cells were removed (300g for 10 min) and the supernatant was centrifuged at 2000g for 10 min to discard dead cells. Then, the supernatant or plasma was collected and centrifuged at 12,000g for 30 min to remove cell debris. Afterward, the supernatant or plasma was filtered through a centrifugal filter unit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) to remove the apoptotic bodies and microvesicles. Next the supernatant or plasma was collected and ultracentrifuged at 110,000g for 2 hours to precipitate the exosomes. Subsequently, the exosomes were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to remove contaminated proteins and the ultracentrifugation at 110,000g for 70 min was used to collect the exosomes. For the extraction of exosomes from plasma of mice, plasma was filtered through a centrifugal filter unit (Millipore), and ExoQuick plasma prep and exosome precipitation kit (System Biosciences) was used according to the instruction of the manufacturer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
