Overview

The Urine Exosome Purification Kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to purify and enrich for pure intact exosomes from different urine sample volumes ranging from 250 µL to 30 mL. These kits also allow for the purification of intact extracellular vesicles (EVs) from different urine sample volumes, and these EVs are ready for any downstream application. The purification is based on Norgen’s proprietary resin.

These kits provide a clear advantage over other available methods since they do not require any special instrumentation, ultracentrifugation, precipitation reagents or any protease treatments. More importantly, the purified exosomes will not be contaminated with any other RNA-binding proteins that may contaminate your exosomal RNA, which is essential if studying exosomal RNA gene expression.

Exosomes enriched with Norgen’s Urine Exosome Purification Kits can be analyzed using NanoSight® for assessing the approximate exosome size range and concentration.

Exosomal RNA Analysis

Exosomal RNA can be isolated using Norgen’s Exosomal RNA Isolation Kit from exosomes enriched using Norgen’s Urine Exosome Purification Kits for gene expression analysis using RT-qPCR, microarray or NGS and for Biomarker discovery.

Figure 1. Intact exosomes purified from 5 mL using different purification methods. Intact exosomes were purified from 5 mL urine using Norgen's Urine Exosome Purification Midi Kit (Cat# 57800), Competitor S's kit, and Competitor L's kit. Exosomes purified using Norgen's kit were resuspended in 400 µL Norgen's ExoR buffer, diluted 1:1,000 and visualized on the NanoSight LM10 instrument. The analysis shows that Norgen's kit isolated 115 nm exosomes with a recovery of 8.36 x 10⁹ particles/mL urine samples. No impurities were found to be contaminating the exosomes purified using Norgen's Urine Exosome Purification Midi Kit. Additionally, Exosomes with a broader size range covering from 75nm - 250nm were purified from 5 mL urine with a higher concentration as compared to the other two methods.

Figure 2. Intact Exosomes were purified from 10 mL urine using Norgen's Urine Exosome Purification Midi Kit (Cat# 57800) and Ultracentrifugation. Exosomes purified using Norgen's kit and ultracentrifugation were resuspended in 400 µL of Norgen's ExoR buffer, diluted 1:1,000 and visualized on the NanoSight LM10 instrument. The analysis shows that Norgen's kit purified exosomes with sizes ranging from 65 nm to 195 nm, with a total recovery of 7.63 x 10⁸ particles/mL. No impurities were found to be contaminating the exosomes purified using Norgen's Urine Exosome Purification Midi Kit as opposed to the exosomes purified using ultracentrifugation, which purified exosomes with larger particle sizes ranging from 125 nm - 235 nm with a total recovery of 1.56 x 10⁸ particles/mL.
