What's the difference between filtration and sifting?

Filtration


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or process of filtering; the mechanical separation of a liquid from the undissolved particles floating in it.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Gel filtration of the 40,000 rpm supernatant fraction of a homogenate of rat cerebral cortex on a Sepharose 6B column yielded two fractions: fraction II with the "Ca(2+) plus Mg(2+)-dependent" phosphodiesterase activity and fraction III containing its modulator.

  • (13) Even though the administration of demethylchlortetracycline did not produce significant decreases in the glomerular filtration rate or renal blood flow in our patient, it is advisable to control the renal function in individuals treated with this drug since it may on occasion determine renal insufficiency.
  • (14) The fucose-labeled glycoproteins were converted to glycopeptides by pronase digestion and separated into two major classes by gel filtration on Sephadex-G-50.
  • (15) Receptors solubilized with Triton X-100 eluted in gel filtration as a major peak of Mr = 330,000 and retained high affinity binding (KD = 0.25 nM).
  • (16) It is inferred that in this experimental model (1) high-density lipoproteins are probably excreted in the glomerular filtrate, (2) alterations in the composition of the excreted lipoproteins may occur during their passage through the nephron.
  • (17) Fractionation of uremic serum by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 shows that the inhibitory activity elutes with an apparent molecular weight of greater than 200,000 daltons.
  • (18) Ratfish serum proteins have been fractionated by ammonium sulfate, followed by gel filtration on Sepharose 6B.
  • (19) In other dogfish, glomerular filtration rate, urine flow, and Na and K excretory rates were measured for 3 days following implantation of desoxycorticosterone (DOCA), adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), or spironolactone; a control group was given no drug.
