The Good
xtremely easy to use, reproducible, and provides a straightforward method for obtaining clean extracellular vesicle fractions with minimal hands-on work.
The Bad
The columns have a limited number of uses, and you have to be very careful not to let the column dry out because this can compromise the separation and potentially ruin the experiment.
The Bottom Line
A very easy and reliable system for exosome isolation, but limited reuse and the need to keep the column continuously hydrated require careful planning.
