The stability of a 0.001% solution at 4°C has not been tested. A solution of 100 mg/ml in water is stable for 1 year at -80°C and for 1 month at -20°C. It is recommended to aliquot the stock solutions to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

General description
Poloxamer 188 is a non-ionic amphiphilic copolymer, which has a central chain of hydrophobic polyoxypropylene and a hydrophilic polyoxyethylene at the ends.[1]
Application
Poloxamer 188 has been used as a supplement in F17 medium for the culture of HEK293-6E cells. It has also been used as a component of flow cytometry (FACS) buffer as a non-ionic detergent that protects cells from hydrodynamic damage.
Poloxamer 188 has been used as a component of cell-dissociation/minimal essential media (MEM) to sort tumor cells using EpCAM antibody-conjugated magnetic beads.[2]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Poloxamer 188 exhibits cytoprotective, hemorheological, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic activities. It maintains the stability of membrane barrier function. P188 lowers surface tension and hydrophobic-based cellular adherence. It also inhibits lipid peroxidation stimulated by Fe2+ and H2O2.[1]
