OptiPrep™ Separation Medium, 250 mL

Product Details

• OptiPrep is a sterile and endotoxin tested solution of 60 % iodixanol in water with a density of 1.320 g/ml. Iodixanol was developed as an X-ray contrast medium an has therefore been subjected to rigorous clinical testing. It is non-ionic, non-toxic to cells and metabolically inert. Iodixanol solutions can be made isoosmotic at all useful densities, this solutions have low viscosity and osmolality.
• The high density of OptiPrep facilitates the fractionation of cells by flotation from a dense load zone through either a continuous or discontinuous gradient or through a simple density barrier.
