Application

Ficoll® 400 is used together with sodium diatrizoate (Paque) to create Ficoll-Paque, a density mixture, used for the separation of cells and organelles, especially lymphocytes and monocytes from blood. Ficoll 400® may be used for the development of new cell and organelle separation systems. Ficoll 400 is used in tissue engineering and macromolecular conformation research for the development, evaluation and use of macromolecular crowding (MMC) systems and configurations.
Used for cell separation and organelle isolation.

Protocols

Ficoll® 400 for Gradient Centrifugation

Ficoll 400® is a highly branched polymer formed by the copolymerization of sucrose and epichlorohydrin. Ficoll 400® is completely non-ionic. Because of the abundance of hydroxyl groups, Ficoll 400® is very hydrophilic and extremely water-soluble.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
