Cytiva Ficoll PM400

Description

High molecular weight sucrose-polymers formed by copolymerization of sucrose with epichlorohydrin. Cytiva™ Ficoll PM400 is a synthetic neutral, highly-branched hydrophilic polymer of sucrose, used for producing density gradients for separation of cells and subcellular components by centrifugation or by sedimentation at unit gravity.

• 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 1.2g/mL can be achieved
• Has 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
• 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
• Supplied as dry powders

• Used in the formation of density gradients for the separation and isolation of eukaryotic cells, organelles, and bacterial cells, as a stabilizing agent and as a separation medium for the isolation of lymphocytes
• Used in defined culture media, nucleic acid hybridization, electrophoresis, and immunological studies
• Used for gradient centrifugation in all types of centrifuge rotors and for separation at unit gravity
