Method for diagnosing a disease using extracellular vesicles comprising porous polymer monolith microfilter
The present invention relates to an apparatus for the isolation of extracellular vesicles from human fluid, and more particularly, to an apparatus comprising a channel formed on a microchip and a porous polymer monolith filter connected to the channel. The apparatus can be used to the diagnosis of disease including cancer from vesicular nucleic acid in a non-invasive manner. Capable of isolating and purifying a large quantity of vesicles from a small amount of a body fluid sample within a short time, the apparatus is expected to be advantageously and widely applied in the medical research and clinical diagnosis of disease including cancer.
