The Biocompare Cell Isolation search tool lets you conveniently select cell separation kits, media, and other products from reliable manufacturers. Use the filters to narrow down the best items for your desired cells, samples, and application.
In density isolation, or buoyant density separation, different cell populations are isolated by their inherent densities. It is a particularly reliable and established whole blood separation method at small to larger scales. The hydrophilic polysaccharide FicollTM, for example, is a commonly used density gradient medium for separating peripheral blood components, such as lymphocytes and red blood cells. Various manufacturers have developed more specialized media, such as those incorporating antibodies, for more specific isolations.
