DENSITY GRADIENT MEDIUM DESIGNED FOR IN VITRO ISOLATION OF BIOLOGICAL PARTICLES
Introducing Optiprep by Serumwerk Bernburg
Optiprep is manufactured, packed and released by Serumwerk, a GMP-compliant and ISO 13485 certified manufacturer. OptiPrep™ is a ready-made, sterile and endotoxin tested solution of Iodixanol, designed for the in vitro isolation of biological particles. For research use only.
The systematic name of Iodixanol is 5,5’-[(2-hydroxy-1-3 propanediyl)- bis(acetylamino)] bis [N,N’- bis(2,3dihydroxypropyl-2,4,6-triiodo-1,3-benzenecarboxamide].
Composition:
- Iodixanol: 60% (w/v) in water
Physical-chemical characteristics:
- Density: 1.320 ± 0.001 g/ml (20°C)
- Osmolality: 170 ± 15 mOsm
OptiPrep is stable for 3 years provided the solution is kept sterile and protected from light. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight leads to release of iodine from the molecule. This effect is negligible when working with these solutions on a day to day basis. OptiPrep™ should be stored between 4°C – 24°C.
