   Ficoll
   Synthetic branched co-polymer of sucrose and epichlorhydrin. Ficoll solutions have high viscosity and low osmotic pressures. Often used for preparing density gradients for cell separations (sometimes in conjunction with Hypaque for leucocyte separation).

   Ficoll
   Ficoll is a neutral, highly branched, high-mass, hydrophilic polysaccharide which dissolves readily in aqueous solutions. Ficoll radii range from 2-7 nm. It is prepared by reaction of the polysaccharide with epichlorohydrin. Ficoll is a registered trademark owned by GE Healthcare companies. Ficoll ...

   ficoll gradient
   A density gradient of ficoll (synthetic sucrose polymer) in solution, where concentration of the ficoll varies continuously through the solution. It is often used to separate different types of cells from each other during the process of sedimentation. ... (09 Oct 1997) ...

   Ficoll-Hypaque technique
   A density-gradient centrifugation technique for separating lymphocytes from other formed elements in the blood; the sample is layered onto a Ficoll-sodium metrizoate gradient of specific density; following centrifugation, lymphocytes are collected from the plasma-Ficoll interface. ...

   Ficoll-Paque
   Proprietary name for premixed Ficoll and diatrizoate (Hypaque) with a density of g/cm3 used as a cushion for separating lymphocytes (which do not pass through the Ficoll-Paque layer) from other blood cells in a one-step centrifugation method.
