Membrane Dialysis

Membrane dialysis is a physical process which separates and removes molecules, ions and other small particles from solutions using a semi-permeable membrane. It is mainly used in biochemistry and the pharmaceutical industry, but is also applicable to industrial processes and the purification of water. Membrane dialysis has a wide range of applications such as the removal of toxins, the concentration of proteins and enzymes, the extraction of DNA, and the analysis of proteins, enzymes, or small molecules. It is a cost-effective and efficient way to purify or separate components from a mixture. In addition, it is also used to monitor and control the pH or ionic strength of a sample.
