Percoll PLUS

CYTIVA
Colloidal medium for cell separation by density centrifugation. Silica particles are covalently coated with silane for enhanced stability and shelf-life.
  • For preparation of cells, subcellular particles and larger viruses.
  • Percoll PLUS has verified low endotoxin level, and is non-toxic and re-sterilizable, even after adjustment to physiological ionic strength.
  • Gradients can either be pre-formed or spontaneously generated by centrifugation at moderate speeds in an angle-head rotor.
  • Iso-osmotic gradients throughout cover a range of densities up to 1.3 g / mL.
  • Low viscosity allows cell isolations on preformed gradients in only a few minutes using low centrifugal forces (200 to 1000 x g).
  • Available in easy-to-open, resealable 250 mL and 1 L bottles.
