EVs include small EVs (s-EVs) and large EVs (l-EVs) by size. Differential ultracentrifugation (dUC) is widely used to separate EVs from biofluids, but it can precipitate large impurity particles. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a simple and fast method for analyzing the size distribution of EVs. However, this approach is nonideal for heterogeneous and polydisperse samples since a small quantity of large impurity particles can markedly disturb the DLS results. Here, we developed a simple method to improve the reliability of DLS measurements.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Plasma was obtained from 13 volunteers. The plasma was first processed by dUC to obtain crude l-EVs. The crude l-EVs were filtered with syringe filters (pore size of 1 μm and membrane material of hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)) to remove large impurity particles from l-EVs.
