OptiPrep™
Density gradient medium for the isolation of viruses, organelles, macromolecules, or cells
Overview
OptiPrep™ is a density gradient medium recommended for the isolation and purification of DNA or RNA viruses, organelles such as nuclei, mitochondria, endosomes or exosomes, macromolecules, as well as a wide range of cell types. OptiPrep™ is a non-ionic iodixanol-based medium with a density of 1.320 ± 0.001 g/mL. It has been used clinically in X-ray contrast imaging and has been shown to have lower toxicity compared to ionic gradient compounds such as metrizamide.
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
