Nycodenz is an off-white powder, freely soluble in water. Solution up to 80% (w/v) with a density of 1.426 g/ml can be prepared.
．non-ionic, non-toxic to cells and metabolically inert
．can be used for the isolation of cells, subcellular organelles and membranes, macromolecules and viruses
．forms true solutions. It is therefore easy to remove the medium from the cells after fractionation
．is resistant to bacterial degradation
．solutions can be autoclaved
