General description
Ficoll® 400 is a non-ionic synthetic polymer of sucrose used for cell separation and organ isolation.
Application
Suitable for
hybridization experiments to reduce non-specific binding of labeled probes to the membrane
preparation of DNA loading buffer (15% Ficoll®, 0.25% bromophenol blue and 0.25% xylene cyanol FF
separation of cells with similar density but different size (PBMC from human peripheral blood, bone marrow and umbilical cord blood)
producing density gradients to separate subcellular components
vitrification of cell and tissue samples.
to compare the effect of different perfusates on Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV).

Used for cell separation and organelle isolation.
Features and Benefits
free from DNases, RNases, phosphatases and proteases
preserves functional and morphological integrity of the separated cells
