Biotium ExoBrite EV Membrane Staining Kits

Aug 13, 2021

Biotium has released its ExoBrite EV Membrane Staining Kits, designed for fluorescent staining of exosomes or extracellular vesicles with little to no background. The stains are validated for flow cytometry, but also have potential applications in super-resolution imaging or other exosome-detection platforms, the company said. The kits are available with two-color options for FITC or PE channels. More color options for blue and red channels are coming soon, the company noted. The standard kit will offer 500 labeling reactions while the trial-size kit will offer 100 labeling reactions.
