Description
MWCO: 3.5 kDa
Capacity (Metric): 1 mL
Product Type: Microdialysis Plate, 48-well
Unit Size: Each
Each sample processed with the Pierce Microdialysis Plate is dialyzed inside a single, removable dialysis device consisting of two regenerated cellulose membranes ∼2 mm apart. The short diffusion distance and large surface area facilitate rapid dialysis, with the removal of salts and small molecules often complete in 2–4 hours. Sample is recovered using standard laboratory micropipettes. The plate seals are made of high-quality polypropylene and help protect the samples from contamination and evaporation, especially during long-term storage. Features of Pierce Microdialysis Plate: • High yield—greater than 90% protein recovery • Rapid—dialysis completed in 2–4 hours • Easy to use—sample loading and retrieval can be done with a standard pipette tip • Flexible—detachable 8-device strips, scalable from 1 to 96 samples • Automation-compatible—plate format conforms to the SBS Microplate Standard Each 48-well and 96-well Pierce Microdialysis Plate comes pre-loaded with twelve 8-dialysis device strips. Each dialysis device strip can be removed from the plate and separated into individual microdialysis devices, allowing only the number of needed devices to be used and eliminating waste. The sample chamber inside each microdialysis device is formed by two low-binding regenerated cellulose membranes that are rated to retain proteins and other macromolecules >2,000 Daltons while allowing removal of buffer salts and contaminants Applications: • Protein and DNA desalting/buffer exchange • Removal of dyes after protein labeling • Enzyme activity/binding assays • Drug binding studies (also see Rapid Equilbrium Dialysis 'RED' devices)
