Abstract
BOTH speed and low temperatures are highly desirable in the dialysis of sensitive protein solutions. Unfortunately, when small refrigerators are used instead of cold rooms, the apparatus used to increase the velocity of dialysis has to be sacrificed to space requirements. For example, the Kunitz1 dialyser, in which a stream of pure water is allowed to flow over a rocking dialysis sac containing a marble, cannot be set up in an ordinary laboratory refrigerator.
