Slide-A-Lyzer™ MINI Dialysis Device, 20K MWCO, 0.1 mL (Thermo Scientific™)

Thermo Scientific Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Devices, 20K MWCO are disposable polypropylene cups with integrated, low-binding membranes for dialysis and high recovery of proteins and macromolecules >20kDa in volumes from 10 µL to 2 mL.

Features of Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Device, 20K MWCO, 2 mL:

Three convenient sizes – dialysis devices for 0.1, 0.5 and 2 mL samples fit standard 1.5 mL-micro centrifuge, 15 mL- and 50 mL-conical tubes, respectively
Excellent sample recoveries – low-binding plastic and small membrane surface area minimize sample loss compared to filtration and resin systems
One-step protocol – pipette sample into the MINI Device and place in tube containing the dialysis buffer; no laborious assembly, device preparation or expensive equipment are required
100% leak-tested – innovative design does not permit "wicking" that can occur in home-made devices
Time savings – performs desalting of nucleic acids and proteins (>95% recovery) in less than 15 minutes, which improves sample resolution, quantification and conjugation

These 20K MWCO dialysis devices are available in three sizes (0.1, 0.5 and 2 mL capacities), and are designed to allow easy sample addition and removal using a standard laboratory pipette. The MINI Devices are effective and convenient for accomplishing typical sample desalting or buffer exchange in 4 to 8 hours. Unlike other small sample separation devices, there is no equipment to assemble, no need for syringe adapters and no laborious steps necessary to manipulate the small volume sample. The regenerated cellulose membrane is compatible with a number of common chemicals and buffers.

Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Devices were developed as a convenient means for dialysing small-volume samples of nucleic acids and proteins without undue sample loss. Low molecular weight contaminant removal, buffer exchange, desalting, equilibrium dialysis, micro conjugation reactions, and concentration can be accomplished with these devices. Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Devices are manufactured in a HEPA filter/clean environment and auto-bagged after assembly to ensure that they are free of contaminants and ready to use.

The 0.5 mL and 2 mL MINI Dialysis Devices fit in and are capped by inserting them into the included 15 mL and 50 mL conical tubes, respectively. The tubes can be securely placed in standard laboratory racks or shakers; this feature saves space, minimizes the risk of spills or contamination, and eliminates the need for floats or large beakers of buffer. Using these MINI Dialysis Devices, low molecular weight contaminant removal, buffer exchange and desalting, can be accomplished within 4 to 8 hours with efficiencies, rates, and recoveries very similar to conventional dialysis using a large dialysate volume (view data).

The 0.1 mL MINI Dialysis Devices are designed to be capped (caps included) and inserted into standard 1.5 mL micro centrifuge tubes. Alternatively, as many as 25 MINI Devices can be placed in a Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Device Float for dialysis of multiple inside a large beaker. Using the 0.1 mL MINI Device, 100 µL of pH 2.8 glycine buffer can be equilibrated with 1 liter of pH 9.4 bicarbonate buffer in less than 10 minutes.

As with all dialysis applications, the observed rate of dialysis for each sample used with these devices depends on a variety of factors including membrane to sample volume, temperature and agitation rates; as well as the molecular weight, shape, degree of hydration, and charge of the molecules passing through the membranes and the pH, ionic strength, and solvent characteristic of the buffers being used.

Applications:
• Determination of free vs. drug bound to plasma proteins
• Pharmacokinetics studies
• Formulation of drug dosage for in vivo studies
• Drug-drug interaction studies
• Selection criteria during drug lead optimization
• Drug partition between plasma and whole blood
• Solubility study
• Dissociation constant determination (Kd)
• Tissue-binding study using tissue homogenate

Determining the extent to which a molecule binds to plasma proteins is a critical phase of pharmaceutical development because it influences compound dosing, drug efficacy, clearance rate and potential for drug interactions. This determination is enabled by equilibrium dialysis, an accepted standard method for reliable estimation of the nonbound drug fraction in plasma. Although it is the preferred method, equilibrium dialysis is generally labor-intensive, time-consuming, cost-prohibitive and difficult to automate. The RED Device for rapid equilibrium dialysis was developed in close association with the pharmaceutical industry to specifically address these issues, accelerating lead optimization and reducing the attrition rate. In addition to plasma protein binding, the device is used for determining drug partition between red blood cell and plasma, protein binding of liver microsomes to improve the correlation between in vitro and in vivo intrinsic clearance, the competition between tissue protein binding against plasma proteins and dissociation constant determination (Kd).

The RED Device has been extensively validated for plasma-binding assays producing results consistent with those reported in the literature. For example, when used to measure warfarin binding to plasma (human and rat) proteins at two concentrations of 1 µM and 10 µM, the RED Device produced results with minimal intra-experimental variability. The Rapid Equilibrium Dialysis (RED) Device offers significant improvements in automation, time requirements, versatility and product reliability compared to other commercially available systems.

Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Flasks are very easy to use. Add and remove sample using a serological pipette or by directly pouring the sample through a wide screw-cap opening at the top of the flask. No knots or clips are needed to seal the units. Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Flasks are manufactured using clean room conditions and have low-protein binding regenerated cellulose membranes to ensure maximum sample recovery and sample purity. The dialysis flasks are available in distinct colors, corresponding to the pore size (MWCO) of the dialysis membrane: Purple (20,000 daltons), Orange (10,000 daltons), Pink (3500 daltons), and Blue (2000 daltons).

Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Flasks are constructed from two sheets of low-binding, regenerated-cellulose dialysis membrane that are hermetically sealed on either side of an inert plastic body. The membrane and flask materials are compatible with most laboratory buffers.

With Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Flasks, typical low-molecular weight contaminant removal, buffer exchange and desalting can be accomplished in 8 hours to overnight. The rate of dialysis depends on a variety of factors, including sample volume, size and shape of the molecule being dialyzed, agitation and temperature. Minimum dialysis time must be determined empirically for each specific system.

Slide-A-Lyzer™ MINI Dialysis Device, 10K MWCO, 0.5 mL (Thermo Scientific™)

Thermo Scientific Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Devices, 10K MWCO are disposable polypropylene cups with integrated, low-binding membranes for dialysis and high recovery of proteins and macromolecules >10kDa in volumes from 10 µL to 2 mL.

Features of Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Device, 10K MWCO, 0.5 mL:

Three convenient sizes – dialysis devices for 0.1, 0.5 and 2 mL samples fit standard 1.5 mL-micro centrifuge, 15 mL- and 50 mL-conical tubes, respectively
Excellent sample recoveries – low-binding plastic and small membrane surface area minimize sample loss compared to filtration and resin systems
One-step protocol – pipette sample into the MINI Device and place in tube containing the dialysis buffer; no laborious assembly, device preparation or expensive equipment are required
100% leak-tested – innovative design does not permit "wicking" that can occur in home-made devices
Time savings – performs desalting of nucleic acids and proteins (>95% recovery) in less than 15 minutes, which improves sample resolution, quantification and conjugation

These 10K MWCO dialysis devices are available in three sizes (0.1, 0.5 and 2 mL capacities), and are designed to allow easy sample addition and removal using a standard laboratory pipette. The MINI Devices are effective and convenient for accomplishing typical sample desalting or buffer exchange in 4 to 8 hours. Unlike other small sample separation devices, there is no equipment to assemble, no need for syringe adapters and no laborious steps necessary to manipulate the small volume sample. The regenerated cellulose membrane is compatible with a number of common chemicals and buffers.

Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Devices were developed as a convenient means for dialysing small-volume samples of nucleic acids and proteins without undue sample loss. Low molecular weight contaminant removal, buffer exchange, desalting, equilibrium dialysis, micro conjugation reactions, and concentration can be accomplished with these devices. Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Devices are manufactured in a HEPA filter/clean environment and auto-bagged after assembly to ensure that they are free of contaminants and ready to use.

The 0.5 mL and 2 mL MINI Dialysis Devices fit in and are capped by inserting them into the included 15 mL and 50 mL conical tubes, respectively. The tubes can be securely placed in standard laboratory racks or shakers; this feature saves space, minimizes the risk of spills or contamination, and eliminates the need for floats or large beakers of buffer. Using these MINI Dialysis Devices, low molecular weight contaminant removal, buffer exchange and desalting, can be accomplished within 4 to 8 hours with efficiencies, rates, and recoveries very similar to conventional dialysis using a large dialysate volume (view data).

The 0.1 mL MINI Dialysis Devices are designed to be capped (caps included) and inserted into standard 1.5 mL micro centrifuge tubes. Alternatively, as many as 25 MINI Devices can be placed in a Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Device Float for dialysis of multiple inside a large beaker. Using the 0.1 mL MINI Device, 100 µL of pH 2.8 glycine buffer can be equilibrated with 1 liter of pH 9.4 bicarbonate buffer in less than 10 minutes.

As with all dialysis applications, the observed rate of dialysis for each sample used with these devices depends on a variety of factors including membrane to sample volume, temperature and agitation rates; as well as the molecular weight, shape, degree of hydration, and charge of the molecules passing through the membranes and the pH, ionic strength, and solvent characteristic of the buffers being used.
