Membranes stripping

When using plastic trays, the primary and secondary antibody solution volume should be increased to 25 to 50 ml. For membrane strips, incubation trays with individual slots are recommended. Typically, 0.5 to 1 ml solution/slot is needed. 

Hybridization in a plastic bag requires 5 to 10 ml avidin-biotin-enzyme solution. Membrane strips require 5 to 10 ml/strip, whereas blots from standard-sized gels (i.e., 14 x 16 cm) require 50 ml for convenient handling in a tray. 

The authors first mentioned investigated an anion-exchange membrane consisting of polyethylene imine crosslinked with epichlorohydrin in equilibrium with KC1 solutions. The concentration of Cl- ions and K+ ions in the membrane were determined analytically. The mobility of the Cl- ions in the membrane was determined according to the principle of the moving boundary. Thus in a membrane strip a sharp boundary is formed between the OH- and Cl- ions. This boundary will move under the influence of an electric field. This may be made visible with the aid of an indicator. The speed of the boundary is determined by the slowest ion, by consequence the Cl- ion in this instance. 

The membrane strip is cut into small fragments and placed directly into the sequenator for analysis.

The northern blot technique allows quantification and size determination of a transcript in a complex mixture (e.g., the entire transcriptome) first by separating the transcripts by denaturing agarose gel electrophoresis, followed by a transfer to a membrane strip and hybridization with a labeled probe (3). Historically, Northern blotting has been used widely, but during the recent years, a shift toward more sensitive methods has taken place. These alternative methods are often less sensitive to RNA degradation, and they have a wider dynamic range.

Fig. 11 shows a conceptualized process schematic where a composite membrane strip is continuously run through the contaminated sludge (sorption step) and an add bath (desorption step). Such a cyclic process configuration is relatively simple and can be implemented by using the composite membrane as a slow-moving belt. For a sludge containing heavy-metal hydroxide, say Me(OH)2, the process works in two steps ...

The transport of the substances from the feed solution to the strip side can be divided into the foUowing steps diffusion of substance S across the boundary aqueous layer in the feed (donor) phase, extraction (sorption) of substance on the donor/membrane phase interface, diffusion across the boundary layer on the feed (donor) side, convection transport in the liquid membrane zone, diffusion across the boundary layer on the strip (acceptor) phase of LM, re-extraction (desorption) on the membrane/strip phase... 

In coupled transport, the complexation reaction between the carrier and extracted compounds takes place only at the water-membrane interface. The complex is formed at the feed-membrane interface and is transported through the membrane to the membrane-strip phase interface. An additional compound is transported together with this complex, in the same or opposite direction. At the membrane-strip phase interface, the decomposition of the complex takes place. In this type of transport, two substances are transported and at least two mass fluxes are realized. If both fluxes are in the same direction, coupled cotransport can be distinguished. If mass fluxes are in the opposite direction, a coupled countertransport occurs. Thus, the flux magnitude depends on the type and concentration of the carrier and transported substances.

The works, in which the authors prove the overaU equilibrium state, are not referenced here. The works, in which the equilibrium state is not proved, or cannot be reached (e.g., the process where the feed-membrane-strip flows are arranged in one continuously operating module) are referenced in the next section as hybrid liquid membrane or hoUow-fiber liquid membrane processes. 

Comparing the simulated results with the experimental data, it appears that at higher flow rates, where boundary layers resistance becomes less important, membrane-strip interfacial reaction kinetics dominates as a ratecontrolling step for solute transport. 

There are a number of nonpharmacologic methods for cervical ripening. Castor oil, hot baths, sexual intercourse, and nipple stimulation all have been recommended for labor induction. However, there is minimal evidence to support the efficacy of these methods. The use of a Foley catheter placed in an unfavorable cervix for ripening has been found as effective as prostaglandin E2. A safe and inexpensive method, membrane stripping, is particularly of value. ... 

Membrane stripping—When the cervix is dilated, a practitioner can use a hand to separate the amniotic membranes from the uterus. This technique has been shown to reduce the need for labor induction.

Fabrlcatlon/assembly of externally wound tubular membrane elements is accomplished by specially designed equipment that simultaneously and continuously winds, in helical fashion. Infinite lengths of membrane and backing material strips onto prefabricated tubular support structures. Membrane strip winding overlaps are solvent bonded during the winding process. 

Another Important factor in the winding operation is tension applied to the backing material and to the membrane strip. Tension is needed to Insure smooth wrinkle-free wound surfaces and to provide the necessary pressure between membrane overlaps to obtain proper ponding. A minimum tension of about 3 Ib/in is required for winding the backing material, while the optimal tension for membrane strips amounted to 1 Ib/ln.
