Abstract: A method for exosome separation and extraction by stacked centrifugal filtration. It is used in molecular biology and clinical examination and comprises an exosome separation and extraction kit consisting of the stacked centrifugal filtration device, incubation buffer and protease K. The sample to be tested is incubated at room temperature using the incubation buffer and an appropriate amount of protease K, followed by centrifugation with the stacked centrifugal filtration device. After mixing thoroughly, the retentate in the ultrafiltration tube is collected to obtain the exosomes. The method needs no ultracentrifugation equipment and allows quick acquisition of purified exosomes within 30 min. This method is suitable for clinical purification for exosome tests, featuring by its short operating time and the ability for parallel treatment of multiple samples, with reasonable cost.
