equilibrium dialysis[‚ē·kwə′lib·rē·əm dī′al·ə·səs] (analytical chemistry) A technique used to determine the degree of ion bonding by protein; the protein solution, placed in a bag impermeable to protein but permeable to small ions, is immersed in a solution containing the diffusible ion whose binding is being studied; after equilibration of the ion across the membrane, the concentration of ion in the protein-free solution is determined; the concentration of ion in the protein solution is determined by subtraction; if binding has occurred, the concentration of ion in the protein solution must be greater. equilibrium dialysis
e·qui·lib·ri·um di·al·y·sisin immunology, a method for determination of association constants for hapten-antibody reactions in a system in which the hapten (dialyzable) and antibody (nondialyzable) solutions are separated by semipermeable membranes. Because, at equilibrium the quantity of free hapten will be the same in the two compartments, quantitative determinations can be made of hapten-bound antibody, free antibody, and free hapten.e·qui·lib·ri·um di·a·ly·sis (ē'kwi-lib'rē-ŭm dī-al'i-sis) immunology A method for determination of association constants for hapten-antibody reactions in a system in which the hapten (dialyzable) and antibody (nondialyzable) solutions are separated by semipermeable membranes.
