Hi Martyn, When it comes to micro-dialysis, you could check the following paper: http://www.jbc.org/content/260/25/13580.full.pdf+html (freely available, check in particular the appendix for the micro-dialysis setup that was used, that was for heat-labile enterotoxin) Fred. PS I know this

I was recently testing out the 30% PEGMME 5k, 0.1M NaOAc pH 4.5, 1M NaCl method mentioned in a Hampton Research catalog and attributed to Enrico Stura. I see that he has also just commented on this thread. I found that at 80mg/ml, batch with 1.5ul:1.5ul protein to precipitant ratio,
