| General description: | Ficoll® Solution is a highly branched polymer of sucrose, also known as polydisperse mixtures of dextran. Ficoll® molecules are inert and not re-absorbed by proximal tubules. The structure is open and deformable, and not a rigid sphere thereby becoming a preferred choice in “crowding” experiments. |
| General description: | Used in electrophoresis and as a hapten carrier. Most commonly used to prepare density gradients. |
