    Abstract: A capture device for capturing a biological substance can include: a substrate; a graphene-oxide layer on the substrate; at least one polydopamine polymer coupled with the graphene-oxide; and at least one targeting receptor coupled to the polydopamine(s), wherein the targeting receptor is capable of targeting/binding with a target biological substance. The graphene-oxide may be covalently coupled with the substrate and polydopamine, and the polydopamine may be covalently coupled with the targeting receptor. The targeting receptor can be an antibody or fragment thereof. The target biological substance can be an exosome. The substrate can be a particle (e.g., magnetic, such as magnetically responsive) or a surface in a microfluidic channel. The surface can be a top surface of a post, the post having a Y-shaped cross-sectional profile. In one aspect, the substrate is a particle. The capture device can include the target biological substance bound to the targeting receptor.

    Abstract: Methods for producing engineered exosomes and other vesicle-like biological targets, including allowing a target vesicle-like structure to react and bind with immunomagnetic particles; capturing the immunomagnetic particle/vesicle complex by applying a magnetic field; further engineering the captured vesicles by surface modifying with additional active moieties or internally loading with active agents; and releasing the engineered vesicle-like structures, such as by photolytically cleaving a linkage between the particle and engineered vesicle-like structures, thereby releasing intact vesicle-like structures which can act as delivery vehicles for therapeutic treatments.

    Abstract: A graphene-based sandwich immunoassay for detecting whether a target biological substance is present in a sample, generally comprising contacting said sample with a plurality of particles coated with graphene nanosheets, each particle having at least one targeting receptor, such that the target biological substance, if present, associates with the targeting receptor, and detecting the presence of the target biological substance in the sample by subsequently contacting the sample with a detection antibody, wherein the detection antibody is capable of targeting and binding with the target biological substance if bound to the targeting receptor to yield a detectable complex. The targeting receptor can be an antibody or fragment thereof. The target biological substance can be an exosome.
