Dialysis Separates proteins from small molecules using a semipermeable membrane. The protein mixture is placed in a dialysis bag, submerged in a buffer without small molecules. Small molecules and ions diffuse out through membrane pores; larger proteins are retained. Effective for removing salts or small solutes but not distinguish proteins from each other.
