Super-efficient laser light-induced detection of cancer cell-derived nanoparticles

Researchers accelerated the reaction between cancer cell-derived nanoparticles and antibody-modified microparticles using laser light. The 3D structure of the aggregates was analyzed with a confocal optical system. Results showed the capability to measure 1,000 to 10,000 nanoscale extracellular vesicles in a 500 nL sample within 5 minutes.
