Percoll™, MP Biomedicals™

Description

Composed of colloidal silica coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Percoll™, MP Biomedicals is a medium for density gradient centrifugation of cells, viruses and subcellular particles. It is completely non-toxic and ideal for use with biological m

Centrifugation of Percoll™ results in spontaneous formation of a density gradient due to the heterogeneity of particle sizes in the medium. Percoll™ can be used for formation of gradients either by the use of conventional gradient mixers or by high speed centrifugation. In the latter case the sample can be premixed with the medium and then separated on the gradient created in situ. In this way gradient formation and sample separation can be achieved in a single operation.
