Objective To compare the advantages and disadvantages of three extraction methods for Hedyotis diffusa willd⁃derived extracellular vesicle⁃like particles (HDW⁃EVLPs). Methods HDW⁃EVLPs were extracted using ultracentrifugation, the fully automatic exosome purification system EXODUS, and the 3D FloTrix® vivaEXO exosome harvesting system. Key performance indicators for a single extraction, economic and applicability metrics, HDW⁃EVLPs characterization, HDW⁃EVLPs average particle⁃to⁃protein ratio, and average particle⁃to⁃RNA ratio of HDW⁃EVLPs, were compared between the three methods. Results The 3D FloTrix® vivaEXO exosome harvesting system achieved the highest maximum loading volume and total particle number per extraction, at 10 000 mL and 1.44×1012 Particles, respectively, far exceeding those of ultracentrifugation and the fully automatic exosome purification system EXODUS. Meanwhile, this method had the lowest market price for equipment but the highest cost per run for consumables. The morphological characteristics of HDW⁃EVLPs extracted by all three methods were similar, exhibiting the typical bilayer membrane “saucer⁃like” structure. Compared to ultracentrifugation, the fully automatic exosome purification system EXODUS exhibited statistically significant differences in average particle concentration and average RNA content (P<0.05). Compared to the 3D FloTrix® vivaEXO exosome harvesting system, the fully automatic exosome purification system EXODUS indicated statistically significant differences in average RNA content and average protein content of HDW⁃EVLPs (P<0.05). The average particle⁃to⁃protein ratios and average particle⁃to⁃RNA ratios of HDW⁃EVLPs extracted by the three methods were of the same order of magnitude. Conclusion HDW⁃EVLPs extracted by the three methods exhibit similar basic characteristics and structural integrity, but differences exist in key performance indicators. Users can select the most suitable HDW⁃EVLPs extraction method based on their specific needs and budget.
