Abstract

Extracellular vesicles (EV) have a potential to serve as novel disease biomarkers, however, currently EV isolation is complicated and with a high variability. Microfluidic devices utilizing multiple phenomena can be of use, however, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is known to absorb and interact with lipophilic molecules. We have characterized alternative microfluidic device materials from EV manipulation perspective and conclude that offstoichiometry thio-lene (OSTE) material class is a better alternative material for EV handling in microfluidic channels thanks to lower interaction with lipophilic molecules and the material stability in lysis solutions.
