Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for the isolation of extracellular vesicles from human fluid, and more particularly, to an apparatus comprising a channel formed on a microchip and a porous polymer monolith filter connected to the channel. The apparatus can be used to the diagnosis of disease including cancer from vesicular nucleic acid in a non-invasive manner. Capable of isolating and purifying a large quantity of vesicles from a small amount of a body fluid sample within a short time, the apparatus is expected to be advantageously and widely applied in the medical research and clinical diagnosis of disease including cancer.
