SSC-A/FSC-A: side scattered light/forward scattered light; EVs: extracellular vesicles; PBS: citrated and phosphate-buffered saline; L/E: lidocaine/epinephrine. Blood was donated by three volunteers with no record of disease. Plasma with added anesthetic L/E was incubated for 15 minutes prior to isolation of EVs. The region contained more than 90% of events in all density plots.
