General description

Histopaque®-1083 is a solution containing polysucrose and sodium diatrizoate, adjusted to a density of 1.083 g/mL. It facilitates the recovery of viable mononuclear cells from small volumes of blood of rats, mice, and other small mammals.

Application

Histopaque®-1083 has been used for the isolation of mononuclear cells and leukocytes from rat peripheral blood.

Features and Benefits

Histopaque®-1083 offers numerous advantages, such as:

  • Optimal recovery of viable cells
  • Permits selective separation of blood cell types
  • Prevents cell distortion
  • Preserves cell viability
  • Minimal extraneous cell interference
  • Reproducible performance from batch to batch
  • Sterile-filtered and endotoxin-tested
  • Stable at 2-8°C for at least 2 years when protected from light

Principle

Anticoagulated blood is layered onto HISTOPAQUE1083. During centrifugation, erythrocytes are aggregated by polysucrose and rapidly sediment; whereas, lymphocytes and other mononuclear cells remain at the plasma-HISTOPAQUE 1083 interface. Erythrocytes pellet to the bottom of the centrifuge tube.
