    摘要: [Object]
    To provide an isolation and purification method for isolating and purifying extracellular vesicles.
    [Solution]
    An isolation and purification method of extracellular vesicles is disclosed. A hollow fiber membrane has an inner diameter of 0.2 mm to 1.4 mm and a molecular weight cut-off of 100000 to 1000000. Filtering includes a first filtration process of press-fitting the culture supernatant of the mesenchymal stem cells from a first opening on one end side of the hollow fiber membrane and filtering the culture supernatant to separate the culture supernatant into a permeate and a first concentrate, and a second filtration process of press-fitting the first concentrate from a second opening on the other end side of the hollow fiber membrane and filtering the first concentrate to separate the first concentrate into a permeate and a second concentrate. A concentrate is produced in which a concentration of the extracellular vesicles is increased by alternating tangential flow filtration in which the first filtration process and the second filtration process are alternately performed a plurality of times. A membrane surface velocity in the first filtration process and the second filtration process is 0.3 m/sec to 2 m/sec.

    摘要: [Object] To provide a method for isolating and purifying a minute useful substance. [Solution] Disclosed is a method for isolating and purifying a minute useful substance. The method includes filtering a liquid containing a minute useful substance through a hollow fiber membrane. The hollow fiber membrane has an inner diameter of 0.2 mm to 1.4 mm and a molecular weight cut-off of 100000 to 1000000. The filtering includes a first filtration process of press-fitting the liquid containing the minute useful substance from a first opening on one end side of the hollow fiber membrane and filtering the liquid to separate the liquid into a permeate and a first concentrate, and a second filtration process of press-fitting the first concentrate from a second opening on the other end side of the hollow fiber membrane and filtering the first concentrate to separate the first concentrate into a permeate and a second concentrate. A concentrate is produced in which a concentration of the minute useful substance is increased by filtration in which the first filtration process and the second filtration process are alternately performed a plurality of times at a membrane surface velocity of 0.3 m/sec to 2 m/sec.

    摘要: A hollow fiber porous membrane including polyethersulfone or polysulfone, wherein the hollow fiber porous membrane has an inner diameter from 300 to 600 µm, a thickness from 70 to 200 µm, a molecular weight cut-off of 10000 or lower, and a plurality of pores having a pore diameter from 0.1 to 0.5 µm throughout an outer surface; and a swelling rate of less than 5% as defined below: Swelling Rate (%): for 20 or more of the hollow fiber porous membranes, after a membrane thickness in a cross section of each one of the hollow fiber porous membranes in the width direction is measured at randomly selected 10 or more locations, an average membrane thickness is calculated based on 200 or more locations in total, and the swelling rate is calculated by a formula below: Swelling Rate (%) = (location numbers where the membrane thickness as measured exceeded 1.3 times the average membrane thickness)/(membrane thickness measurement numbers) x 100
