Abstract
Some embodiments provide for a device that collects vesicles and vesicle-like materials from biological fluids. Such devices include at least one sample loading region; at least one corresponding vesicle-capture material, wherein said vesicle-capture material includes glass-like materials; and at least one corresponding sample receiving region, wherein passage of the biological fluid from the sample loading region through the vesicle-capture material and into the sample receiving region results in the capture of vesicles. Additional embodiments provide for a method of isolating vesicles and vesicle-like materials from biological fluids.
