Separating Solutions and Lectins

Separating solutions are used for isolation of cells or cellular particles during density gradient centrifugation.

Biochrom AG offers two different separating solutions: Biocoll and Easycoll. These two solutions differ in the respectively contained polymer. Biocoll separating solution does contain a polymer with a molecular weight of approx. 400,000 Dalton. The basis of Easycoll are silica gel particles, coated with PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone). The former product name of Easycoll was Percoll.

The ready-made solutions are already preset on physiological values of osmolality and ph-value.
