Exosome Extraction Kit (Milk)
Exosomes are small vesicles(30-150nm) containing RNA and protein secreted by cells, which are abundant in body fluids such as blood, saliva, urine and milk. Exosome is considered to have the function of the inter-cellular messenger, transmitting their effectors or signal molecules between specific cells. However, its structure, composition of effectors and the biological pathway involved currently remain unclear.
In the biological functional study of exosome, it is necessary to separate its complete particles, but the conventional ultracentrifugation method has complicated steps, high requirements to the hardware and character of difficult operation. The Rapid Extraction Kit of Exosome independently developed by Umibiois suitable for the extraction of exosome in the emulsion after the optimization of the components, which can obtain high-purity exosomal particles rapidly and efficiently. It can be applied to electron microscopy analysis, NTA particle size analysis, nucleic acid analysis, protein analysis, cytological experiments, animal experiments, etc.

I. Sample Pretreatment
1. Sampling: in case of the frozen sample, take it out from the fridge and thaw it in a 25 °C water bath, and place the fully-thawed sample on the ice; in case of the fresh sample, collect the sample and place it on the ice.
2. Initial dosage of the sample: (sample dosage for a single extraction)

3. Centrifugation to remove the lipids: transfer the sample to the centrifugal tube and centrifuge at 4℃ at 10000 g for 20 min to remove the lipids and some proteins from the sample;(Note: the sample is divided into three layers after centrifugation, with the upper layer being a lipid layer, the lower layer being a protein precipitate, and the middle layer being whey). After centrifugation, the state of the upper layer is “compact, stable and not easy to fall off”. If the upper layer is “fluffy and easy to fall off” and there is a lot of precipitates in the lower layer, this step can be repeated continuously and the middle layer liquid shall be taken after each centrifugation)
4. Transferring the whey: transfer the whey (middle layer liquid) whose lipids have been removed to a new 50mL centrifugal tube;(Note: the upper layer of lipids can be punctured by a spearhead and slowly dumped, or transferred with a pipette. It is a normal phenomenon that there is a small amount of lipids and precipitates in the transferred whey, which will not affect subsequent experiment.)
II Impure Protein Removal
1. Settling the whey: add Solution A into the whey. Invert the centrifugal tube to mix it thoroughly until it is “translucent”. Then add Solution B and invert the tube to mix thoroughly. Let it stand at 2℃to8℃ for 10 min; (Note: after static placement is completed, shake gently the centrifugal tube. “Tofu pudding-like” solid will be presented and the fluid will be “transparent”. If the state of “tofu pudding” is not presented or the sample is still “milk white”, appropriate amount of Solution B can be added until the fluid turns “transparent”.)

Note: please convert specific dosages to be added according to the proportion of the table above.
2. Centrifugation to remove the protein: centrifuge the settled whey at 4℃ at 10000 g for 10 min and collect the supernatant;
3. Filtering the supernatant: transfer the collected supernatant to 50 mL centrifugation and filtration column and centrifuge at 4℃ for 2 min at 3000 g; (Note: if the supernatant is not fully filtered, this step can be repeated. 50mL centrifugation and filtration column is a disposable material and repeated use is not recommended.)
4. Transfer the filtered supernatant to the new centrifugal tube, add Solution C and invert it to thoroughly mix it; (Note: the dosage of Solution C shall be consistent with the dosage of Solution B)

III Exosome Extraction
1. Pretreating the supernatant: add Solution D into the supernatant added Solution C, and the specific dosages are as follows:

Note: please convert other dosages according to equal proportion of the reagent dosage in the table
2. Mixing the solution: after adding Solution D, cover tightly the centrifugal tube, and mix it evenly using the vortex oscillator for 1 min. then let it stand at 2℃ to 8℃for at least 2 hours; (Note: adding the standing time can increase the exosome attainment rate, but the standing time shall not exceed 24 hours)
3. Precipitating exosome: take out the centrifugal tube with the mixed liquor and let it to be centrifuged at 4℃ at 10000 g for 60 min, discard the supernatant, and the precipitation is rich in exosomal particles;(Note: the supernatant should be sucked as much as possible)
4. Resuspending the exosome: take 1×PBS, spin the centrifugation precipitate (see the following table for specific dosage). After it is dissolved, transfer the resuspended solution into a new 1.5 mL centrifugal tube;

5. Obtaining exosomal particles: centrifuge the 1.5 mL centrifugal tube with resuspended solution at 4℃ at 12000 g for 5 min and keep the supernatant. This supernatant is rich in exosomal particles. (Note: in case of a large amount of precipitates, this step can be repeated for multiple times until there is no obvious precipitation. Collect the supernatant after each centrifugation. The exosome solution may have a light milky white color, which is normal )
6. Storing the exosome: purified exosomes shall be sub-packed at 50-100 μL and stored in a low-temperature fridge at -80℃ for subsequent experimental use.
