The only kit for easy isolation of bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs)
Expanding our exosome expertise to bacteria, SBI now offers the ExoBacteria™ OMV Isolation Kit. The first and only kit designed to streamline isolation of bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit uses an innovative, precipitation-free gravity column system to harvest OMVs from bacterial culture medium. With OMVs in less than 1-hour and delivering a purity and yield rivaling ultracentrifugation-based approaches, the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit is a great way to accelerate your studies on bacterial communication and pathogenesis1, cancer therapy2, bacterial modulation of the host immune response3, and bacterial OMV engineering for use as vaccines4.
- Each kit comes with enough reagents and consumables to process up to 20 reactions*, enabling maximal flexibility with experimental conditions.
- 1 reaction is defined as 30 ml of purified bacterial culture media loaded into a single gravity column.
*PLEASE NOTE: Even though EXOBAC100A-1 kit is optimized for isolating OMVs from Gram-negative bacteria, based on publications, several customers have used this kit successfully to isolate OMVs from certain Gram-positive bacterial species. It is important to note that the efficiency of binding and purification depends on the surface charges of the bacteria, and we have not conducted tests on all bacterial species. Therefore, empirical testing may be required to determine the kit's effectiveness with other species of Gram-positive bacteria.
In addition, you may consider the EXEL-ULTRA-GroEL1, the first and only kit designed for the easy quantitation and characterization of OMVs isolated from E.coli.

See why the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit is a better way to isolate OMVs
Figure 1. OMVs isolated using the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit are similar in appearance, but with tighter distribution than OMVs isolated via ultracentrifugation. Comparison of transmission electron micrographs (TEM) of E. coli-derived OMVs isolated using (A) the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit or (B) ultracentrifugation. OMVs (light blue arrows) are indicated in both samples, but note the unwanted protein aggregates (red arrow) that appear in the ultracentrifugation sample.
Figure 2. The ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit delivers a narrower size distribution of OMVs and higher yields than ultracentrifugation. (A) Comparison of fluorescent NTA analysis of E. coli-derived bacterial OMVs isolated using either ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit (blue line) or ultracentrifugation (gray line) shows how the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit delivers a much narrower size distribution of isolated OMVs than a conventional ultracentrifugation approach. (B) In addition, total yield is 20-fold higher with the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit (1.38 x 108 particles/µg of protein) compared to ultracentrifugation (0.0657 x108 particles/µg of protein).
Figure 3. Get higher OMV yield and less carry-over protein with the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit. Western blot analyses of E. coli-derived OMVs isolated using either the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit or ultracentrifugation show that (A) the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit delivers higher yield of OMVs than ultracentrifugation—compare the amounts of GroEL in each lane—and (B) the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit preps have less carry-over protein than the ultracentrifugation preps—note the lower amount of flagellin. Each lane is loaded with 5 µg of total protein.
Figure 4. Identify more OMV proteins with OMVs isolated using the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit. (A) Comparison of the total number of proteins identified via mass spectrometry from OMV samples isolated using either the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit or ultracentrifugation shows a wider range of proteins identified from OMVs isolated with the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit. All but 7 of the proteins identified in the OMVs isolated using ultracentrifugation were also found in the OMVs isolated using the ExoBacteria kit, suggesting that the higher yield and higher purity delivered by the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit expand your ability to derive insights from OMVs. (B) More of the proteins from the ExoBacteria OMV kit-isolated OMVs were found in the EV-Pedia database than from OMVs isolated using ultracentrifugation, demonstrating the increased specificity of the ExoBacteria OMV Isolation Kit.
