Float Buoys for Slide-A-Lyzer™ MINI Dialysis Devices contain inert, low-density polyethylene (LPDE) construction that is compatible with most aqueous buffer conditions, and the floats can be washed and reused. These Float Buoys enable users to dialyze a single sample (tube) or multiple samples (25 array). Their easy-to-read column and row labels make it simple to keep track of the identity of different samples.
Float Buoys for Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Devices are intended to hold Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Devices (0.1 mL size only), whose bottom surfaces are a dialysis interface composed of a cellulose membrane barrier. The float holds the devices so that the bottoms contact the solution in which they are floated for dialysis. LPDE material is not suitable for use at temperatures greater than 50°C and are not designed for use as water bath floats.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

With what chemicals is the Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Unit compatible?

The Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Unit is compatible with alcohols, ketones, esters, oxides, and solvents containing nitrogen.
Alkalis: 1N sodium hydroxide or 1N ammonium hydroxide may cause pore swelling or shrinkage; not recommended to be used with 1N potassium hydroxide
Acids: Will survive weak acids (100% acetic or formic acids), or ~25% phosphoric or sulfuric acids; it should not be used with >25% strong acids, although a weak solution of a strong acid may work

What percent of my sample should I expect to lose during dialysis when using the Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Unit?

In general, polypropylene and regenerated cellulose have very low nonspecific binding properties. The percent recovery of a sample will depend on the unique properties of the sample and on the initial concentration of the sample.

What materials are used to manufacture the Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Unit?

The membrane is regenerated cellulose and the plastic is a polypropylene copolymer. Both materials have very low protein and nucleic acid binding properties.

How long does it take to dialyze with the Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Unit?

The Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Unit can convert 100 µL of pH 2.8 buffer to pH 9.4 dialyzing against 1 liter bicarbonate buffer, pH 9.4 in less than 10 minutes.

How do I use the Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Unit?

- Wearing gloves, apply sample (0.01-0.1 mL) using a pipette.
- OPTIONAL: Soak the Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Unit to remove trace contaminants.
- Cap the Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Unit (to minimize loss) and snap it into the float (sold separately).
- Insert the float into the beaker containing the dialysate.
- Recover sample.
