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 areaggregated 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.
