Life science specialists – AMSBIO offers an extensive range of highly characterized, high-purity exosomes for use as control standards in applications including marker assessment, immunocapture performance evaluation, exosome quantification, OMICS analysis, flow cytometry, and electron microscopy.

Exosomes or extracellular vesicles (EV) are small endosome-derived lipid nanoparticles (50-300nm in diameter), actively secreted by exocytosis in most living cells. Exosomes have been shown to have pleiotropic physiological and pathological functions and play significant roles in diverse conditions such as cancer, and infectious and neurodegenerative diseases.

Benefiting from an exceptionally large cell bank built up over several decades, AMSBIO is in a unique position to offer researchers an unmatched range of exosomes from a wide variety of biological sources, including cell culture supernatant, human plasma, serum, and urine. All exosomes supplied by AMSBIO are supplied lyophilized meaning they are easy to ship, store for up to 36 months (+4° to 8⁰C), and reconstitute.

Smaller diameter exosomes are supplied highly purified using a combination of tangential flow filtration (TFF) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Exosomes larger than 150 nm diameter are purified using tangential flow filtration (TFF). All AMSBIO isolated exosome standards are then quantified and validated for overall protein content, size distribution, concentration, and specific marker expression by Nanoparticles Tracking Analysis. This unique combination of high purity and comprehensive marker characterization delivers exceptionally reliable research results. To track the distribution and movement of specific exosome standards, AMSBIO also offers fluorescent labeling.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :Electron MicroscopyElectron microscopes (EM) are used to create high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale by means of an accelerated beam of electrons as a source of illumination. Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.

Biomarkers can be used to diagnose presence of a disease and indicate disease severity. The discovery of new biomarkers is incredibly valuable in the field of diagnostics.
