Percoll PLUS

Uses

Percoll^? PLUS has been used for demyelination of brain homogenate.

General Description

Percoll^? PLUS is a silica-based colloidal medium for cell separation by density gradient centrifugation. The silica particles of the medium are covalently coated with silane, providing product stability and long shelf life. The silane coating also provides low osmolality and toxicity, as well as low viscosity. Percoll PLUS is aseptically filled and has low levels of endotoxins, making it well-suited for cell separation in clinical research applications.

Cell separation with the medium is performed under gentle conditions, facilitating the isolation of a variety of cells, subcellular particles, and viruses where preservation of viability and morphological integrity is important. The low toxicity of Percoll PLUS ensures that removal of the medium from separated cellular particles is not usually necessary.

After adjustment, Percoll PLUS forms iso-osmotic gradients within the density range of 1.0 to 1.3 g/ml. This density range is especially useful since most cells, subcellular particles, and viruses have a buoyant density of 1.0 to 1.2 g/ml in Percoll PLUS.
