Table 5: NTA results of human plasma derived EVs demonstrate the effect of altering laser power and gain on size and particle concentration measurements of human EVs (1:1000 dilution).
D10 is the point in the size distribution where 10% of the sample is contained, D50 is the point where 50% of the sample is contained (median), and D90 is the point where 90% of the sample is contained. SD: Standard deviation; CV: Coefficient of variation.
