General description

Ficoll-Paque PREMIUM products are a range of sterile, ready-to-use density gradient media for the preparation of mononuclear cells.

Ficoll-Paque PREMIUM products are based on Ficoll-Paque PLUS (see Ficoll-Paque PLUS) which has been used for more than 30 yr as a sterile density medium for the isolation of high yields of mononuclear cells from bone marrow, peripheral blood, and cord blood. All Ficoll-Paque PREMIUM products differ from Ficoll-Paque PLUS in that they are manufactured under a Quality Management System certified to ISO 13485:2003.

Application

Optimized for the isolation of mononuclear cells from human peripheral blood, bone marrow, and umbilical cord blood.

Can be used for isolating a broad range of human mononuclear cells including those of a higher density and for separating blood cells from mice or rats.

Can be used when isolating lower-density human mononuclear cells (e.g., mesenchymal stromal cells or monocytes).

Features and Benefits

  • Sterile, ready to use reagents used to prepare mononuclear cell preparations from peripheral blood, bone marrow, and umbilical cord blood by density gradient centrifugation.
  • Manufactured under a Quality Management System certified to ISO 13485:2003.
  • Low levels of endotoxin (< 0.12 EU/mL) secured and tested.
  • Cytotoxicity grade 0.
  • A Regulatory Support File (RSF) is available for Ficoll-Paque PREMIUM products.

Storage and Stability

Please be aware this product may be shipped 90 days before the expiration date. For more information on the batch specific expiration date, please contact technical service.
Store at 4 to 30 °C ()

Properties of Mononuclear Cells Isolated by the Ficoll-Paque Method

The effects of the mononuclear cell separation method described by Bøyum procedure are noted below, since research situations may arise in which they are significant.

How to Fractionate and Analyze Gradients of Percoll

Density Marker Beads are dyed derivatives of Sephadex™. There are ten color-coded bead types, each with a specific density. They have been specifically formulated for use in Percoll gradients and will not work with other media. Using Density Marker Beads as an external marker facilitates monitoring of the gradient shape and range.

Removal of Percoll after Centrifugation

This page shows methods to remove Percoll from a sample after centrifugation.

Applications of Percoll in Other Cell Types

The table was compiled to assist the researcher in selecting references most likely to contain relevant information regarding use of Percoll in various cell types.
