Pierce™ 96-well Microdialysis Plate, 3.5K MWCO, 1 Plate Set - FAQs

Q: Why did my sample volume increase during dialysis?

Most likely its because osmotic pressure from dialyzing from high osmolarity to low osmolarity solutions causes a sample volume increase, as each sample component-including water-will move towards equilibrium concentration on both sides of the membrane.

What is the protein recovery after dialysis when using the 96-well Microdialysis plate?

Typical protein recovery is greater than 90% after dialysis.

Do I need to use all 96 wells in the Pierce 96-well microdalysis plate at one time?

The plate comprises detachable strips so that you can pull out the exact number of wells needed for an experiment (scalable from 1-96 samples).

What is protein dialysis?

Dialysis is the separation of small and large molecules in a solution by selective diffusion through a semi-permeable membrane. It is generally used for larger sample volumes, and can take hours to overnight for complete dialysis.
