What are the common variables that increase molecule passage?
Posted April 19, 2024
Answer
Common variables that increase molecule passage:
- Differences between linear and globular molecules
- Low sample concentration below 1 mg/mL
- Buffer composition that promotes the disintegration of molecules, influenced by pH and ionic conditions that change the molecule’s conformation or aggregation properties
- Elevated transmembrane pressure induced by gravitational force in centrifugal concentrators - particularly impactful for linear molecules such as DNA fragments. Lowering the g-force can enhance the membrane’s molecule retention.
