EV Isolation Benchmark Tool

This EV-iTEC tool supports transparent comparison of extracellular vesicle (EV) isolation workflows using a weighted multi-parameter scoring approach.

The framework is inspired by the comparative analysis presented in:

Preußer et al. Isolation Defines Identity: Functional Consequences of Extracellular Vesicle Isolation Methods. Advanced Healthcare Materials (2026). DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202504684

The tool is intended as an EV-iTEC decision-support and benchmarking aid. It does not establish universal rankings of EV isolation methods and is not a quality certification system.
Results depend on the selected weighting profile, measured parameters and experimental context.

Parameter definitions

Lipid content (µg/mL or SPV-equivalent): Measured lipid-associated signal of the final EV preparation. Higher values indicate greater lipid recovery.

EV marker enrichment (relative units): Relative enrichment of EV-associated markers determined by proteomics, immunoblotting, ELISA, flow cytometry, NanoFCM or comparable methods. Values should only be compared within the same experimental workflow.

EV Isolation Benchmark Tool

Relative EV-iTEC comparison of EV isolation workflows. Missing values are not scored as zero; available criteria are re-normalized per method.

ℹ️
Note: PPR is derived from particles and protein and is therefore not independent from yield and protein background. Keep this in mind when weighting PPR together with its components.
