摘要

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), which are ubiquitously present in bodily fluids, hold significant promise as biomarkers for disease diagnosis and targeted therapy. However, their isolation remains challenging due to their small size (typically < 200 nm) and the complexity of biological fluids. This study presents a novel microfluidic strategy integrating Magnetic Stirring with Tangential Flow Filtration (MS-TFF). The automated, portable device (palm-sized, 12.5 cm × 11.1 cm × 6.25 cm) features user-friendly operation: inserting the chip into a slot and closing the lid initiates automated sEV extraction. The system processes 10 mL of morning urine or cell culture supernatant within ∼40 min. Compared to ultracentrifugation (UC), MS-TFF reduces processing time from ∼4 h to ∼40 min while achieving a 6-fold higher sEV yield. Clinical validation using urine from 16 subjects (6 healthy/10 prostate cancer patients) enabled quantitative *KLK3/PCA3* RNA biomarker detection, achieving AUC = 0.93 for cancer diagnosis, confirming its diagnostic potential.
