Diffusion on Chromatography Columns

402
In column chromatography, when an analyte is introduced as a narrow band at the top of the column, the solutes begin to separate and broaden, developing a Gaussian profile. This broadening occurs due to various factors, such as longitudinal diffusion.
Longitudinal diffusion occurs when the solute molecules in the mobile phase diffuse from the more concentrated center of the chromatographic band to the more dilute regions on either side, both towards and against the flow direction. This...

Protein Diffusion in the Membrane

4.3K
Proteins show rotational as well as lateral diffusion across the membrane. The lateral diffusion of proteins was confirmed through the cell fusion experiment where mouse and human cells were fused, resulting in hybrid cells. When the human and mouse cells fused, the specific membrane proteins on human and mouse cells were marked with the red and green-fluorescent markers, respectively. Initially, the red and green fluorescence was located on the respective hemisphere of the cell. As time...

Area of Science:

  • Soft Matter Physics
  • Colloidal Science
  • Transport Phenomena

Background:

  • The collective diffusion coefficient (Dcoll) is crucial for understanding macroscopic transport in soft matter.
  • Existing methods for measuring Dcoll are experimentally challenging or numerically complex, often relying on nonequilibrium techniques or problematic Fourier-based approaches at equilibrium.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a new equilibrium technique for measuring the collective diffusion coefficient (Dcoll) in 2D colloidal suspensions.
  • To address the limitations of current methods for Dcoll determination.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental and numerical investigation of a 2D colloidal suspension at equilibrium.
  • Utilized a novel "Countoscope" technique analyzing particle number counts N(t) in virtual observation boxes from microscopy images.
  • Validated results against traditional Fourier-based methods.

Main Results:

  • Successfully measured Dcoll for the first time using the Countoscope technique.
  • Demonstrated that Fourier techniques struggle with long-range measurements due to image non-periodicity.
  • Showcased the Countoscope's advantage in exploiting finite observation windows for accurate measurements.

Conclusions:

  • The Countoscope technique provides a robust and accurate method for measuring Dcoll in colloidal systems.
  • This method overcomes significant challenges associated with traditional Fourier-based approaches.
  • The technique holds potential for advancing the understanding of collective properties and hydrodynamic interactions in suspensions.
