General description
Histopaque®-1119 is a sterile, endotoxin tested, ready-to-use medium. This solution consists of polysucrose and sodium diatrizoate, adjusted to a relative density of 1.119 g/mL and pH 8.8–9.0.
Application
Histopaque®-1119 is suitable for use in conjunction with Histopaque-1077 as it facilitates the rapid recovery of viable mononuclear cells and granulocytes from small volumes of whole blood or bone marrow
Features and Benefits
Histopaque®-1119 offers numerous advantages, such as:
- Optimal recovery of viable cells
- Permits selective separation of blood cell types
- Prevents cell distortion
- Preserves cell viability
- Minimal extraneous cell interference
- Reproducible performance from batch to batch
- Sterile-filtered and endotoxin-tested
- Stable at 2-8°C for at least 2 years when protected from light
Principle
The process involves the formation of a double gradient on layering an equal volume of Histopaque-1077 over Histopaque-1119. Anticoagulated whole blood is carefully layered onto the upper Histopaque-1077 medium. Upon centrifugation, the erythrocytes are aggregated by polysucrose and thus rapidly sediment. Granulocytes are found at the lower Histopaque-1077/1119 interface; whereas, lymphocytes and other mononuclear cells are found at the upper plasma/Histopaque-1077 interface. Most extraneous platelets found in the upper interface are removed by low-speed centrifugation during washing steps. Erythrocyte contamination is negligible.

Is it possible to use Histopaque 1119 as a double gradient media with another brand of density gradient media, such as Ficoll paque plus, or does it only work with Histopaque 1077?

Is the Histopaque-1119 solution compatible with blood stored in PAXgene cell-free DNA tubes for separating different cells from the blood when used in combination with Histopaque-1077 for a double gradient?
1 answer-
The PAX gene Blood DNA tubes were not tested for compatibility with any of the Histopaque products. As a general rule, fresh blood provides the best results with the Histopaque products, and it is generally not recommended to use blood stored for more than 24 hours.

Are there any comparable products for Pancoll at densities 1.119 g/ml and 1.077 g/ml, to be used in cell isolation for gene expression studies or diagnostics.
1 answer-
As Pancoll is polysucrose-based, Histopaque and Ficoll Paque have essentially the same formulations. For Histopaque and Ficoll Paque, products are available with densities of 1.073, 1.077, 1.083, 1.084, and 1.119 g/ml. Any of the Histopaque and Ficoll Paque products with densities of 1.077 g/ml and 1.119 g/ml should be suitable crossmatches for Pancoll products with densities of 1.077 g/ml and 1.119 g/ml.

Is there a product similar to Mono-Poly resolving media?
1 answer-
The Mono-Poly resolving media has only a slight difference in formulation compared to Histopaque 11191, primarily in its density which can vary from 1.112 to 1.116 g/ml. In contrast, the specification for Histopaque 11191 is 1.119 g/ml +/- 0.001 g/ml.

Hi. I am trying to adapt an older protocol that calls for a certain percentage of Ficoll. What percentage does this product contain?
1 answer-
This product is a mixture of Ficoll (polysucrose 400) and sodium diatrizoate at 60 grams and 167 grams per liter, respectively. The solution may not be a suitable substitute for protocols requiring Ficoll, only. Please see product F5415 to review a 20% Ficoll solution in water. This item may a better option:

When using Product 11191, Histopaque®-1119, what is the expected percent recovery for the band containing neutrophils.
1 answer-
No percent recovery data has been generated. Due to the importance of technique with the Histopaque 1119-1, percent recovery varies with the skill of the operator.

The Product 11191, Histopaque®-1119, froze in transit. Is the product still suitable for use?
1 answer-
Mix the bottles upon receipt several times to ensure the product is uniform. The products are shipped ambient and gradients in situ can form if the solution freezes during transport. As long as the bottle has not broken and no precipitate is noted, the product is suitable for use after slowly thawing and mixing.

Can the procedure for using Product 11191, Histopaque®-1119, be used successfully with species such as rats and mice?
1 answer-
The Histopaque 1119-1 procedure was developed for use with human blood. Due to the lower number of circulating neutrophils in rat or mouse peripheral blood, the technique tends not to work as well with rats or mice.
