As the official channel partner for the field's most sensitive nanoparticle platforms, Bioparticle brings the instruments and reagents that resolve the size, charge, and surface markers of biological nanoparticles — down to a single molecule, with no calibration curves and no compromises — to your lab.
Partical Matrix ZetaView evaluation platform integrates cutting-edge detection modules for complete biological particle analysis. Designed for reliability, reproducibility, and simplicity, it eliminates manual calibration and provides real-time quantitative data.
Pangnostics delivers a breakthrough in particle analysis with its Digital Flow Cytometry platform-bringing single-molecule precision to complex biological systems. By overcoming the detection limits of conventional cytometry, it enables researchers to uncover hidden subpopulations and generate truly quantitative insights.
These platforms read biological particles through complementary physics — tracking how particles move, and counting the single molecules on their surface.
A laser illuminates particles suspended in the cell; a camera records each one scattering light and dancing under Brownian motion. The Stokes–Einstein relation turns that motion into a hydrodynamic size and an absolute count — particle by particle, no calibration curve required.
Sample flows through a planar microfluidic channel where line-confocal optics and four lasers interrogate a tiny detection volume. Each fluorophore-tagged molecule is counted as it passes — across twelve channels — giving absolute, calibration-free numbers and per-particle phenotypes that bulk methods average away.
Therapeutic and biofluid preparations are dominated by 30–70 nm vesicles. Where a method's detection floor sits decides whether you measure the real sample — or a brighter, biased subset of it.
Illustrative model of a real EV population, where the smallest vesicles dominate. Single-molecule detection reaches ≤35 nm; raising the floor toward conventional limits hides the majority and inflates the apparent size.

* NTA sizes and counts label-free; single-molecule dFC adds fluorescence phenotyping and surface-marker copy number. Simplified for comparison — not a substitute for method validation.
Each step in EV characterization recovered detail the previous one averaged away.
Western blot & ELISA confirm a marker is present — but only as a population average, blind to how it's distributed.
NTA reads Brownian motion to give label-free size, concentration, and zeta — particle by particle.
High-sensitivity flow resolves markers on individual vesicles — but a detection floor still hides the smallest EVs.
Pangnostics dFC counts individual molecules to ≤35 nm — absolute, calibration-free, with copies-per-particle.
Extracellular vesicles ferry proteins and RNA between cells — making them biomarkers, drug-delivery vehicles, and therapeutics in their own right. The same analysis extends across the nanoscale of life.
