Abstract
Various implementations of a system and method for analyzing extracellular vesicles (EVs) are disclosed having a number of innovative features. In one implementation, a method for analyzing EVs includes binding EVs to an optical waveguide biosensor and phenotyping the bound EVs. Phenotyping can include binding a labeled ligand to the EVs and/or rupturing the EVs and analyzing their cargo. In another implementation, a system for analyzing EVs includes EVs bound to an optical waveguide biosensor and a labeled ligand bound to the EVs. In another implementation, a kit for analyzing EVs includes a micro plate having wells containing optical waveguide biosensors functionalized with a binding agent configured to bind to EVs and at least one of: (a) labeled ligands configured to bind to the extracellular vesicles or (b) a reagent configured to rupture the extracellular vesicles.
