Greetings,

I have an ambitious postdoc who would like to analyze the protein content
of exosomes by FACS.  He tells me that exosomes range in size from 50 - 100
nM.

Has anyone ever done this? or know if it is possible to do FACS analysis on
"cells" this small?

We have access to a FacScan, a FacScalibur, a FacsVantage and a MoFlo - any
thoughts on which machine might be best for this analysis?

Thanks for the input,

Derek Sant'Angelo
