Customer Testimonial
Early research on exosomes, or extracellular vesicles, focused on their role in excreting unwanted waste from cells. However, we’re now starting to understand their wider functionality in intercellular communication and the transmission of disease. The NanoSight system is playing a central role in helping us advance in this new and exciting area of research, by enabling us to size, count and track the movement of these crucial molecules in their native state.
