Affinity enrichment of placental extracellular vesicles from minimally processed maternal plasma with magnetic nanowires† Affinity based enrichment of cell/tissue specific extracellular vesicles (EVs) with magnetic materials and analysis of their molecular cargo has the potential to improve assay sensitivity/specificity compared to whole plasma analysis.

We fabricate a three-dimensional (3D) microdevice operated with minimal peripheral accessories, including a portable pump for semi-automated sample delivery and a single heater for temperature control, for performing reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) integrated with a downstream fluorescence detection module for semi-quantitative assessment of gene expression.
