Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

  • While a customizable artificial membrane is a highly desirable feature, there remains the potential for data unreliability due to difficulties in formulating and applying the lipid/organic solvent mixtures to the PVDF membrane filters.
  • The artificial membrane is permeable to both ions (Na+ and Cl-) and water molecules.
  • 1 A filter-immobilized artificial membrane is used to model the cell membrane for passive transport of drug molecules.
  • A lipid artificial membrane is applied to the PVDF membrane in a 96-well filter plate (Donor plate).
  • Tracking Tiny Travelers Although producing such chemical recognition events on an artificial membrane is not an achievement in itself, examining them with such fidelity is, says Sasaki.
