Poloxamer 188 Non-ionic Surfactant (10%)

Gibco Poloxamer 188 is a non-ionic surfactant used to control shear forces in suspension cultures, reduce foaming in stirred cultures, and minimize cell attachment to glass surfaces. It is widely utilized to protect cells in suspension from damage during processes such as transfer, freezing, thawing, and stirring. Its ability to stabilize cell membranes and reduce surface tension helps cell viability and integrity, particularly in mammalian cell cultures, including translational and clinical research applications.
