About Ficoll Powder, 100g
FICOLL has the follwing key advantages: Proven medium for density gradient centrifugation. -Does not penetrate biological membranes -High density solution of low viscosity and low osmotic pressure -Preserves functional and morphological integrity. -Useful for separating cells which are sensitive to centrifugation and for separating cells of similar density but different size (under conditions of sedimentation at unit gravity). -Can be used in other applications such as electrophoresis, hybridization cryopreservation and as a hapten carrier.
Optimal Application in CentrifugationFicoll Powder is specifically designed as a density gradient media ideal for centrifugation procedures. Its high purity supports the separation of cells, organelles, or macromolecules with superior clarity and minimal contamination, making it a preferred choice in biomedical research and diagnostics.
Reliable Storage and LongevityThis product is stable for one year when kept in cool, dry conditions. Properly storing Ficoll Powder protects its structure and efficacy, ensuring it remains effective for laboratory use throughout its shelf life. Always tightly reseal after use to maximize freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
Available in Various Convenient SizesTo suit different laboratory needs, Ficoll Powder is available in 5g, 10g, 25g, and 100g quantities. This flexibility allows researchers to choose the optimal amount required, minimizing waste and supporting efficient inventory management.
