An opinion on the IP of EX1

I have taken a quick look at what EX1 have in regards IP. From reading the prospectus it appear the only significant IP they have is the patent application WO2018112557 [1].

I would be very worried about the prior art in this area. A quick search through pubmed has revealed many publication that have utilised affinity capture and purification of exosomes [see 2,3 as example]. They may be able to get a very narrowly focused patent through, but it won't be hard for anyone to work around it.
