In the field of nanoparticle characterization, zeta potential has long been known as measure for stability and particle-particle interactions and is a physical-chemical parameter. However, the characterization of low concentrated nanoparticle suspensions, such as exosomes, is challenging. Particle Tracking Analysis (PTA) is a technique where single particles of the sample are visualized and traced. By analysis of the particle traces, the PTA device (ZetaView®, Particle Metrix, Germany) performs the measurement of particle size, concentration and zeta potential of exosomes in one experiment. As the zeta potential is affected by pH and ionic strength, even more information about the sample can be gained by variation of buffer composition, resulting in discrete charge fingerprints. We utilize the advantages of PTA with emphasis on practical aspects relevant for exosome characterization. Potential applications, such as monitoring of pH sensitive exosome-exosome interactions in combination with multiparameter characterization will be discussed on selected examples.
