Density gradients of sucrose can be prepared in large numbers by successive freezing and thawing of sucrose solutions. Gradients of other solute molecules, such as salt and detergents, also form and this could affect subsequent sedimentation behavior of some molecules. However, the sedimentation beh

β¦ Synopsis
A method for preparing multiple sucrose gradients by quickly freezing layers of sucrose has been developed. These gradients may be stored in the freezer indefinitely, and thawed from 8 to 24 h at 4Β°C before use. The middle region of the resulting sucrose gradients was linear. Thawing time and centrifugation had little effect on the shape of the gradient. The method is applicable for both small-and large-volume centrifuge tubes. Gradients prepared in the same batch were nearly identical.

## Abstract **Summary:** Soβcalled functionally gradient materials have received increased attention as a new type of composite whose microelements, including composition and structure, change spatially to optimize the gradient properties for a specific application. In this study, a new technique f
If trypsin is incorporated in the tissue culture medium it is possible to carry out a sensitive immunofluorescence assay for the presence of human rotavirus. The enhanced effect of trypsin is negated by serum. It has also been established that naturally occurring enzymes in faeces enable some virus
