Abstract

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) such as exosomes have gained immense research interest in liquid biopsy since their proteomic and genetic contents could potentially be used for early cancer diagnostics as well as for continuous monitoring during treatment. Due to their small sizes and inefficient isolation, however, detection of exosomes in body fluids that are limited in volume such as cerebrospinal fluids still remains a challenge. We have developed an electrokinetic preconcentrator chip in PDMS that can preconcentrate and trap EVs based on ion concentration polarization (ICP). It allows for a sensitive and rapid detection of EVs on chip.
