Validated Antibody for Reliable Detection of EV Marker CD81

ExoBrite™ CD81 Flow Antibody is a mouse monoclonal IgG1, kappa antibody validated by Biotium for optimal detection of CD81, a core extracellular vesicle (EV) tetraspanin marker, by flow cytometry.

Optimised for both purified and bead-bound EVs, this antibody provides bright fluorescence, low background, and superior signal-to-noise. With an updated buffer formulation, ExoBrite™ CD81 Flow Antibody ensures improved staining reproducibility and is a trusted choice for EV analysis.

Available in six colour options (Pacific Blue™, FITC, PE, APC, R-PE, and APC conjugates), it supports multi-parameter analysis and is widely used in combination with other EV markers such as CD9 and CD63.

Key Features

  • Specific detection of EV marker CD81 by flow cytometry
  • Bright fluorescence, low background
  • Validated for purified and bead-bound EVs
  • Six colour options for panel flexibility
  • Updated buffer formulation for enhanced signal-to-noise

Notes: Biotium products are available only in Singapore and Thailand.

 

Detect EVs with confidence using ExoBrite™ CD81 Flow Antibody – validated for purified and bead-bound vesicles.

SEC-purified MCF-7-derived EVs were stained first with ExoBrite™ 490/515 CD81 in 100 uL, followed by 1X ExoBrite™ 640/660 WGA EV Stain. EVs were detected on a CytoFLEX LX flow cytometer in the FITC and APC channels. When we gated on ExoBrite™ 640/660 WGA-positive particles, ~60% were also positive for CD81.
