General description
Application
- to investigate the efficiency of single-cell encapsulation.
- the gradient-based isolation of senescent cancer cells.
- isolation of non-enveloped virion isolation from bronchoalveolar lavage.
- isolation of lipoproteins and macromolecules
- purification of virions
- purification of neuron cells
Features and Benefits
- It is biologically inert and does not interfere with assays for marker enzymes.
- It is non-ionic, non-toxic, and has low osmotic pressure.
- It forms spontaneous gradients that are stabler and easier to prepare than sucrose.

How to Find a Lot/Batch Number for COA
Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product's label following the words 'Lot' or 'Batch'.
Aldrich Products
For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.
Not Finding What You Are Looking For?
In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.
Which document(s) contains shelf-life or expiration date information for a given product?
If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.
How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?
The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.
Why choose Product D1556, OptiPrep, instead of other density gradients such as Percoll or Histopaque?
Percoll and Histopaque must be removed prior to use through washing. If Percoll and Histopaque are not removed, these density gradients can be toxic to mammalian cells. In comparison, OptiPrep has no potential for bioaccumulation and can be considered nontoxic to cells. OptiPrep also has lower viscosity as compared to polysucrose based products such as Histopaque or Ficoll.
What is the appearance of Product D1556, OptiPrep?
The solution may be clear to slightly yellow.
How do I find price and availability?
There are several ways to find pricing and availability for our products. Once you log onto our website, you will find the price and availability displayed on the product detail page.
