Tumor-derived circulating small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) is a promising non-invasive biomarker for disease diagnosis. However, their quantitative detection remains challenging due to their small size and the complexity of blood plasma. Typically, sample preparation like purification is required. This study presents a purification-free approach using a microfluidic chip integrated with PANORAMA (Plasmonic nano-aperture label-free imaging) for label-free single sEV counting in plasma. CD63, CD9, and CD81 antibodies, specific biomarkers for most sEVs, are functionalized on AGNIS (arrayed gold nanodisks on invisible substrate) for selective capture. The automated microfluidic platform minimizes manual errors and allows precise programming of flow rates, directions, and media for optimization. Only 20 {micro}L of plasma is required, and the analysis is completed within 60 minutes. This platform shows great potential as a sensitive and efficient tool for detecting circulating sEVs without purification or labeling.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
