Lyophilization is a useful technique that can be used for long-term stable preservation of exosomes. Besides, lyophilized exosomes can be used as control standards for FACS, WB, ELISA and other applications, as well as quantitative calibration standards for foreign and domestic exosomes in biological samples.
Immunostep Lyophilized Exosome Standards can be used as control for multiple applications, as calibration standards for biomarkers from biological samples and for immunocapture performance evaluation.
High pure exosomes improving performance over competitors
Purity validated by WB, NTA, Flow Cytometry and functional analysis In Vitro
Tested and validated for regenerative medicine, skin, dermatological and pharma companies
Lyophilized Exosome Standards are easy to transport and storage and are stable for over 2 years at 2°C to 8°C. Immunostep provides the highest quality Lyophilized Exosome Standards isolated from a variety of biological sources, including cell culture supernatant, human plasma, serum, urine, and saliva. Exosomes are isolated by differential ultracentrifugation.

Lyophilization and Quantification
All exosome standard batches are validated using FCM, WB and NTA Analysis. Additionally, in order to compare the effects of lyophilization process we compare all lyophilized batches with respect to fresh exosomes stored at -20ºC. Dynamic range of fresh and lyophilized PC3 exosomes are analysed by Flow Cytometry.

For its validation, we carry out an exosomes analysis and comparative of fresh and lyophilized plasma exosomes for particle size and concentration by NTA, NanoSight LM10 HSB. This analysis is carried out with 1 μl of purified exosomes diluted in 999 μL of HEPES buffer (dilution1:1000). The purified exosomes show a size distribution profiles, with peak diameters from 50 –150 nm and concentrations about 1×10^12 exosomes/ml. Additionally, fresh and lyophilized MCF-7 exosome batches are analysed and compared by WB in native conditions for exosomal markers, by anti-CD9 (Clone VJ1/20) and anti-CD63 (Clon TEA3/18) antibodies at a 1:1000 dilution (0,1 mg/ml).
