Pierce™ Microdialysis Plate, 96 well, 0.1 mL, 2K 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.

8 product FAQs found

Are cartridges from Microdialysis Plates sold separately?

We do not offer the cartridges from Microdialysis plates as stand-alone products. Each individual device from a Microdialysis Plate can be used in a microtube or plate, if the entire strip or plate is not needed.

What is the chemical compatibility of Microdialysis Plates?

Please refer to the Chemical Compatibility table in the respective product manual.

What are 96-well Microdialysis Plates?

The 96-well Microdialysis Plates are automation-compatible 96 deep-well microplates with microdialysis devices for the rapid dialysis of 1 to 96 samples. Each plate includes 12 detachable cartridges where each cartridge is a strip with 8 microdialysis devices.

Why did my sample volume increase during dialysis?

Most likely it‘s 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 the difference between your dialysis devices (plates, device, cassettes, flasks)?

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.
