While standard static dialysis is very popular in the laboratory, Dynamic Dialysis uses flow dynamics to increase both the rate and efficiency of
dialysis. Circulating the sample and/or the dialysate creates the highest possible concentration gradient to significantly decrease dialysis time.
Other benefits of the sweeping action is that it prevents membrane fouling and in some situations generates a pressure differential. This supplemental
driving force increases the hypo-osmotic mass transfer rate across the semi-permeable membrane and allows for sample concentration
during the dialysis process. Depending on the application requirements, there are two basic sample conditions that can be utilized for
different reasons or purposes in Dynamic Dialysis:
Increased rate of dialysis
Small volume sample
Delicate sample
Large volume dialysate
(Counter-Current Dialysis)
Maximum rate of dialysis
Large volume sample
Robust sample
Large volume dialysate
