The Ross Unit (Rᵤ)
Measurement of Exosomes for Scientific Research and Product Evaluation
Developed by Kimera Labs
Not Every Particle is an Exosome
Other nanoparticles and biological material can contribute to a total particle count, making particle enumeration alone an incomplete representation of an exosome preparation.
Kimera Labs developed Rᵤ to establish a new standard for exosome characterization, measurement, and potency.
Measures all detectable nanoparticles
Focuses on exosomal components
Different Measurement. Deeper Understanding.

Deeper Understanding.
A Different Approach
Rᵤ Measures What Matters
Rᵤ was developed to provide an additional analytical framework for exosome measurement and characterization. Rather than defining an exosome preparation solely by the number of detectable nanoparticles, Rᵤ incorporates measurable biological components associated with the preparation.
RNA Cargo
Exosomes carry RNA as part of their molecular cargo. Rᵤ incorporates measurement of RNA associated with the exosome preparation.
Protein Concentration
Proteins are fundamental components associated with exosomes. Rᵤ incorporates protein concentration as part of its characterization framework.
Advancing Exosome Science
A Measurement Designed for EXOSOME SCIENCE
Rᵤ was developed to help bridge the gap between detecting particles and understanding the biological components that define exosome potency and characterization.
Particle Detection
Particle count present?
