Density gradient medium for the isolation of viruses, organelles, macromolecules, or cells.

• Use to form continuous or discontinuous gradients
• Customise separation characteristics for isolation of viruses, organelles, macromolecules, or cells
• Non-ionic, non-toxic to cells, isoosmotic, and metabolically inert

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.
