Percoll - Cell Separation Reagent
Percoll is a density separation formulation used for the isolation of cells, organelles, and viruses by density centrifugation.
Percoll consists of colloidal silica particles of 15-30nm diameter (23% w/w in water) which have been coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).
Percoll is well suited for density gradient experiments because it possesses a low viscosity compared to alternatives, a low osmolarity, and no toxicity toward cells and their constituents. It has been used to separate inner and outer membrane vesicles from E. coli. Percoll is isosmotic throughout the gradient, non-toxic, and is easily removed from the purified materials.
