General description
Features and Benefits
- For producing density gradients for separation of cells and subcellular components by centrifugation or by sedimentation at unit gravity.
- Neutral, highly branched, hydrophilic polymer of sucrose which dissolves readily in aqueous solution.
- Concentrations of up to 50% (w/v) covering densities of up to 1.2 g/mL can be achieved.
- Better osmotic properties than sucrose.
- Preserves functional and morphological integrity.
- Useful for separating cells that are sensitive to centrifugation and for separating cells of similar density but different size (under conditions of sedimentation at unit gravity).
- Does not penetrate biological membranes.
- Serves as the raw material for preparation of Ficoll-Paque gradients.
- Used in other applications such as electrophoresis, hybridization, cryopreservation, and as a hapten carrier.
