Extracellular vesicles (EVs) shuttle important biologically active molecules out of cells. Characterizing their size, density, biochemical composition, and cell of origin provide researchers with important insights into organ-specific health and disease status. Scientists use various approaches to purify EVs in preparation for analysis, but assessment can be challenging because of size, heterogeneity, and lack of standardization considerations. 

Download this comprehensive guide from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences to learn how nanoscale flow cytometry enables improved EV analysis.

Why Do We Feel Butterflies in the Stomach?

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs".
