Dialyze
Definition:
(v. t.) To separate, prepare, or obtain, by dialysis or osmose; to pass through an animal membrane; to subject to dialysis.
Example Sentences:
(1) Dialyzed crude enzyme extracts from yeast cells were found to destroy diacetyl in a manner quite similar to that of diacetyl reductase from Aerobacter aerogenes, and both the bacterial and the yeast extracts were stimulated significantly by the addition of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH).

(4) Human mononuclear phagocytes cultured in vitro were tested after preincubation with uremic plasma dialyzed in vitro and the effects of pre and post hemodialysis plasma were compared with the effect of dialyzates equilibrated with uremic plasma in vivo.
(5) In order to clarify the role of dialyzer geometry, the effect of hollow-fiber versus flat-sheet dialyzers and of different surface areas on C3a generation and leukocyte degranulation was investigated.
(6) The inhibitor is a very small, dialyzable compound which inhibits not only the R. rubrum but also the E. coli protein-synthesizing activity in vitro, whereas the activator is a non-dialyzable, small RNA molecule capable of stimulating only the R. rubrum activity.
(7) Polymethacrylate coated charcoal was inserted in the dialysis circuit before the dialyzer.
(8) It is also susceptible to thermal inactivation at 37 degrees , possibly through changes in the affinity of triiodothyronine to the nuclear binding protein(s), since the bound triiodothyronine becomes more readily dialyzable, is absorbed by an anion exchange resin, but retains its characteristic mobility on electrophoresis.
