  • Device and method for isolating extracellular vesicles from biofluids
    Patent number: 11959841
    Abstract: A device and method for isolating extracellular vesicles from biofluids is disclosed. A nanoporous silicon nitride membrane is provided with a tangential flow of biofluid. A pressure gradient through the nanoporous silicon nitride membrane facilitates capture of extracellular vesicles from the tangential flow vector of biofluid. Reversal of the pressure gradient results in the release of the extracellular vesicles for subsequent collection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 8, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER
    Inventors: James Lionel McGrath, Kilean Scott Lucas, Henry Hung Li Chung
