Which of the following is used as a media for density gradient?(a) Agarose(b) Ficoll(c) Luria broth(d) Propylene glycol

Answer» Right answer is (b) Ficoll

For explanation: Ficoll is a neutral, highly branched, high-mass, hydrophilic polysaccharide which dissolves readily in aqueous solutions. Ficoll is part of Ficoll-Paque, which is used in biology laboratories to separate blood to its components (erythrocytes, leukocytes, etc.). Ficoll-Paque is normally placed at the bottom of a conical tube, and blood is then slowly layered above Ficoll-Paque.
