PureSperm Buffer




Intended Use: Summary and Explanation

PureSpermŽ Buffer is supplied as a sterile (autoclaved SAL 10-3) isotonic salt solution. It is optimised for the dilution of PureSpermŽ or PureSpermŽ 100 in the preparation of density centrifugation gradients for separating and purifying human sperm. Two layers are commonly used for the gradient: 40% and 80%. This system effectively isolates the best sperm from lymphocytes, epithelial cells, abnormal or immature sperm, cell debris and bacteria..
PureSpermŽ Buffer is CE marked in countries of the European Union.
