Nycodenz® is the ideal density separation medium for the fractionation of viruses, diverse subcellular organelles, membranes, macromolecules, polysaccharides, nucleoproteins and cells. Its low osmolality and non-toxicity recommend it for separating living cells. Its low viscosity and non-ionic nature have proven useful in the isolation and purification of viruses and bacteria.
Nycodenz®, the trademark name for iohexol whose systematic name is 5-(N-2, 3-dihydroxypropylacetamido)-2, 4, 6-tri-iodo-N, N'-bis (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) isophthalamide, was originally developed as an X-ray contrast medium and has therefore been subjected to rigorous clinical testing. It is a non-ionic, tri-iodinated derivative of benzoic acid with three aliphatic hydrophilic side chains. Its high solubility, underlying its ability to generate high density solutions, derives from the hydrophilic groups linked to its triiodobenzene ring. The dihydroxypropylacetamido side chain is responsible for its very low toxicity compared to metrizamide. The iodinated aromatic nucleus absorbs strongly in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum with an absorption maximum of 244 nm.
Nycodenz® in solid form is stable for a period of 2 years from date of manufacture when stored at room temperature and protected from light. Product expiration date is printed on the packaging and the batch certificate. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight leads to release of iodine from the molecule. This effect is negligible when working with these solutions on a day-to-day basis.
