General description
Application
- neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes
- leucocytes from a blood sample
- peritubular myoid (PM) cells
Features and Benefits
- Low osmolality permits precise adjustment to physiological conditions without significant interference from the medium.
- Compatible with living cells and viruses and allows separation and recovery of intact, fully active systems.
- Impermeable to biological membranes, resulting in no change of buoyant density of particles during centrifugation.
- Spontaneous formation of gradient during centrifugation allows mixing of large sample volumes in the centrifuge tubes.
- Low viscosity results in rapid formation of gradients and particle separation.
- Most biological particles having sedimentation coefficient values greater than 60S can be successfully isolated in Percoll gradients.

Protocols
To prepare a Percoll gradient, the osmolality of Percoll must be adjusted with saline or cell culture medium to make Percoll isotonic with physiological salt solutions.
