OptiPrep™
Density gradient medium for the isolation of viruses, organelles, macromolecules, or cells
OptiPrep™
Density gradient medium for the isolation of viruses, organelles, macromolecules, or cells
Product Advantages
- Flexible: Use to form continuous or discontinuous gradients
- Versatile: Customize separation characteristics for isolation of viruses, organelles, macromolecules, or cells
- Gentle: Non-ionic, non-toxic to cells, isoosmotic, and metabolically inert
Overview
Simplify the isolation and purification of macromolecules; viruses; a wide range of cell types; and organelles such as nuclei, mitochondria, endosomes, or exosomes by using OptiPrep™ medium. This flexible, versatile, and gentle density gradient medium is non-ionic, iodixanol-based (60% w/v) and has a density of 1.320 ± 0.001 g/mL. OptiPrep™ has been used clinically in X-ray contrast imaging and has been shown to have lower toxicity when compared to ionic gradient compounds such as metrizamide.
