Mixtures dialysis

It has been found that dialysis bags require to be prewashed with sodium carbonate and H4 edta to reduce the contamination of glycolipids during dialysis. Mixtures of trichloroacetic and phosphotungstic acids did not cause the production of artifacts or hydrolysis of gangliosides as previously reported the odd effects could be removed by treatment with H edta followed by dialysis. ... 

An easy, rapid and environmentally friendly methodology was developed for the extraetion of pyrethroid inseetieide residues from semi permeable membrane deviees (SPMD), based in a mierowave-assisted extraetion, in front of a dialysis method nowadays widely employed. Several solvent sueh as hexane, toluene, aeetonitrile, eyelohexane and ethyl aeetate were tested as mierowave-assisted extraetion solvent. Mixtures of hexane and toluene with aeetone were also assayed and provide better results than single solvents. 

Researchers studying polypeptide and polypeptide hybrid systems have also processed vesicles using two solvents. This method usually involves a common organic solvent that solubilizes both blocks and an aqueous solvent that solublizes only the hydrophilic block. The two solvents can be mixed with the polypeptide or polypeptide hybrid system at the same time or added sequentially. The choice of organic solvent depends heavily upon the properties of the polypeptide material, and commonly used solvents include dimethylformamide (DMF) [46, 59], methanol (MeOH) [49], dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) [50, 72], and tetrahydrofuran (THF) [44, 55]. Vesicles are usually formed when the organic solvent is slowly replaced with an aqueous solution via dialysis or removed through evaporation however, some vesicles have been reported to be present in the organic/aqueous mixture [49]. 

The removal of inorganic salts from reaction mixtures afforded by polymeric materials may be simply and effectively accomplished by dialysis,166 178 after decomposition of remaining periodate with ethylene glycol130 131 or butylene glycol. 161 170 Alternatively, the iodate and periodate ions may be removed as such, or after reduction to free iodine. The iodate and periodate ions have been effectively precipitated by means of sodium carbonate plus manganous sulfate,6 or by lead dithionate,191 barium chloride,24 192 193 strontium hydroxide194 202 or barium hydroxide,203 204 lead... 

The slowing down of enzyme reactions has often been attributed to reaction with, or equilibrium between, the enzyme and its substrate or between the enzyme and the products of its action. In order to determine the influence of the products of the action of pancreatic amylase on the extent of the hydrolysis of starch, portions of its hydrolysis mixtures were subjected to efficient dialysis during hydrolysis and the results compared with aliquots of the reaction mixture which had been treated in the same way except for dialysis.41 The results of such experiments... 

Similarly, the addition of substrate to hydrolysis mixtures that had reached stages of very slow rates of change with dialysis resulted in extensive hydrolysis of the added substrate. Comparisons showed that the new substrate was hydrolyzed to practically the same extent in the same time as the original substrate.41 These findings show not only that active amylase was present but that no appreciable inactivation of the amylase had taken place in the dialyzing hydrolysis mixtures when the... 

Amine-terminated, G3 (PAMAM) dendrimer, (0.316 g 45.7 moles) was dissolved in anhydrous methyl sulfoxide (5 ml) in a 100 ml round-bottom flask flushed with dry nitrogen. After dendrimer had completely dissolved, succinic anhydride (Aldrich) (0.363 g 3.6 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture with vigorous stirring, and the mixture was allowed to react for 24 h at room temperature. The product solution was diluted with deionized water, transferred to 3500 MWCO dialysis tubing (Spectrum) and dialyzed against deionized water (18 Mil) for 3 d. The retentate solution was clarified by filtration through Whatman No. 1 filter paper, concentrated with a rotary evaporator, and lyophilized to yield a colorless powder (0.435 g, 94%). The product was analyzed by 13C-NMR, FT-IR, SEC and MALDI-MS. The analytical data were consistent with the expected carboxylic acid-terminated product. 

General Procedure for the Stepwise Hydroformylation/Reductive Amination on Allylated Hyperbranched Polyglycerols (PG). Synthesis of Hydroaminomethylated Hyperbranched PG-dendrimers. PG-Allyl, Rh(acac)(CO)2 and XANTPHOS were dissolved in dry toluene and placed in an autoclave. The autoclave was pressurized with CO/H2 (1 1, 30 bar), heated at 70 °C for 5d. After cooling, the amine was added to the crude PG-aldehyde (1H NMR was used to confirm full conversion) and stirred for 1-2 h. After stirring, Rh(acac)(CO)2 was added and the autoclave was pressurized with CO/H2 (1 6, 70 bar) and heated at 85 °C for 2-5 days. After cooling, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the crude mixture was purified by dialysis (benzoylated cellulose tubing) to give the re-... 

Following dialysis and treatment by SEC, the sample extracts were solvent exchanged into sterile DMSO. Subsequently, four rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss [RBT]) were placed in each of seven tanks (each tank is considered as a treatment and a replicate is an individual fish within a tank) in 18 °C well water (280 mg hardness as CaCOs) using flow-through conditions. RBT were fed once daily throughout the study. Following a 48 hour acclimation, RBT were injected interperitoneally with 100 pL of a 1 1 mixture of an SPMD extract or appropriate controls in DMSO or corn oil. Controls included non-deployed SPMD extracts, SEC blanks, and DMSO blanks. The same injection procedure was repeated 6 days later. RBT were sacrificed 11 days after initial exposure to the extracts, and the plasma, liver, gills, and brain were immediately removed from each fish and maintained at -80 °C until assayed. 

Figure 7.6 Principle components analysis (PCA) of PCB congener concentrations in technical Aroclor mixtures, contaminated water, caged brown trout, SPMDs, and hexane filled dialysis bags. The plot shows that 77% of the variance of samples within the 95% confidence ellipse is explained by PCI and PC2 and that caged fish and SPMDs are clustered together (PCA plot courtesy of Kathy Echols, USGS-CERC, Columbia, MO, USA).

At the end of the dialysis procedure, the bag is blotted dry and enzyme solution is removed prior to assessment of activity. It may be necessary to include cofactor in the assay mixture if it is possible that a dissociable cofactor was lost from the enzyme during dialysis. As the volume containing enzyme inside the dialysis bag changes to some degree during the dialysis procedure, it is usually necessary to correct measured enzyme activity to reflect this change in volume, and a correction based on protein concentration is often done in this regard. It is normal for activity thus measured to be expressed as a fraction of that in a parallel (dialyzed) control experiment. 

Enzyme preparations pretreated by dialysis at pH 9.2 (dialysis) or with digitonin (digitonin), or UDP-JV-acetylglucosamine (UDPNAGA) added to enzymatic incubation mixtures. 

Several variants of separation methods based on dialysis, ultrafiltration, and size exclusion chromatography have been developed that work under equilibrium conditions. Size exclusion chromatography especially has become the method of choice for binding measurements. The Hummel-Dreyer method, the vacancy peak method, and frontal analysis are variants that also apply to capillary electrophoresis. In comparison to chromatographic methods, capillary electrophoresis is faster, needs only minimal amounts of substances, and contains no stationary phase that may absorb parts of the equilibrium mixture or must be pre-equilibrated. 

Dialysis for 6 months at RT of M Fe(N03)3 solution against bidistilled water of pH 5. This gives a mixture of polymeric particles and uniform, rod-like crystals of goethite. The goethite can be separated from the polymer by gel chromatography using a Sephadex 200 substrate (Van der Woude and de Bruyn, 1984).
