PVP - polyvinylpyrrolidone ??

[Gamel Anton]

Hi all!

Can anybody please give me an answer to the question
what for this PVP = polyvinylpyrrolidone is good.

Its recomended in a myoblast culture media receipt and
in some buffers used in Molecular biology.

Can it be autoclaved because its high viscous and can
hardly be filtered - may be there is a trick to do it...

Many thanks
With kind regards
