New ‘lab-on-a-disc’ device paves the way for more automated liquid biopsies

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny particles shed by cells that carry important molecular “clues” about the cell’s identity and condition. EVs in blood vary widely and are mixed with many other particles, making them difficult for laboratory scientists and researchers to analyze reliably. Current EV isolation methods are often manual, slow, and not designed to measure multiple biomarkers at once.
