EXTRACELLULAR VESICLE RECOVERY METHOD AND BLOOD COLLECTION TUBE

摘要

The present invention provides a technique useful in the recovery of extracellular vesicles. More specifically, the present invention provides items (I) and (II) below. (I) An extracellular vesicle recovery method that includes the following: (1) mixing whole blood with a nonionic surfactant and a chelating agent and generating a mixture containing extracellular vesicles, the nonionic surfactant, and the chelating agent; and (2) separating the extracellular vesicles from the mixture. (II) A blood collection tube containing a nonionic surfactant and a chelating agent.
