High throughput size-determination and multiplexed fluorescence analysis of single biological particles in a nanofluidic device
Paper in proceeding, 2019

Biological nanoparticles, such as exosomes and viruses, are responsible for a multitude of important functions, but methods to characterize them on the single particle level are rare. We here present a nanofluidic platform for multi-parametric characterization of biological nanoparticles with high throughput. The device consists of feeding microchannels and an array of ~100 nanochannels where the nanoparticles can be characterized. We determine the size by analyzing the Brownian motion of the particles and quantify their content based on fluorescence imaging of up to three different colors. We successfully benchmark our method against existing techniques, such as Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA).
