Polysucrose Usage And Synthesis

Description

Polysucrose (sold as FicollTM by GE Healthcare) is a high molecular weight polymer formed by the copolymerization of sucrose with epichlorohydrin. It is used for cell separation and organelle isolation, in the study to develop a new method for the purification of human motile spermatozoa, and in the investigation of antiproliferative and antitumor activities of D-reverse peptides.

Chemical Properties

pH 7.0-8.0

Uses

Used for cell separation and organelle isolation. Polysucrose has been used in a study to develop a new method for the purification of human motile spermatozoa. It has also been used in a study that investigated the antiproliferative and antitumor activities of D-reverse peptides.

Uses

Ficoll is a hydrophilic neutral highly branched polysaccharide use to establish density gradients to separate blood component cells and organelles. It is part of the separation medium called Ficoll-Paque.

Uses

Polysucrose has been used in a study to develop a new method for the purification of human motile spermatozoa. It has also been used in a study that investigated the antiproliferative and antitumor activities of D-reverse peptides.

General Description

Ficoll 400 is a highly branched polymer formed by the copolymerization of sucrose and epichlorohydrin. Ficoll 400 is completely non-ionic. Because of the abundance of hydroxyl groups, Ficoll 400 is very hydrophilic and extremely water-soluble. The most common application for Ficoll 400 is as a density gradient medium for the separation and isolation of eukaryotic cells, organelles and bacterial cells. Density ranges up to 1.2 g/ml can be attained. It has also been utilized in a variety of other applications.
