Membrane materials for removing uremic toxins from a hydrophobic polymer such as polysulfone and two polyvinyl pyrrolidones, hydrophilic polymers of different molecular weights, that is 10-50 wt. % of a low molecular weight component (molecular weight<100,000) and 90-50 wt. % of a high molecular weight component (molecular weight&gE;100,000). The membranes are permselective useful in dialysis. The membrane material may have an overall mass transfer coefficient (K ), for a Strokes' radius of at least 30 &angst; (as determined by a diffusion test during dextran), of &gE;0.0025 cm/min and a permeability to albumin of &lE;4%.

Permselective membranes and methods for their production

An apparatus for fractionating a cell suspension, which comprises a casing having a substantially columnar space in the interior, which is substantially closed to the space outside the casing, a liquid-treating chamber in the casing adapted to be filled with a cell suspension passing through this liquid-treating chamber, a separating membrane having a separating wall surface inside the casing and disposed to separate and cause a cell component to pass through the separating membrane, a rotary body rotatably arranged in the liquid-treating chamber, a driving mechanism for rotating and driving the rotary body, a cell suspension introduction path, a treated liquid discharge path, and a separated component discharge path.

Apparatus for separating cell suspension

An apparatus for determining the functioning properties of cells which includes a sample containing chamber, a rotor disposed in the chamber and having a conical surface which faces the inner bottom surface of the chamber at an angle of not greater than 2.degree., a ray transmission path from which a ray is projected into a sample of a cell suspension between the rotor and the inner bottom surface, and a transmitted ray detection path from which transmittance from the sample is detected. The optical path length in the sample is not smaller than 1 cm. An adequate shear stress is applied to the sample by adjusting the gap between the rotor and the inner bottom surface and rotating the rotor. A fine response by the cells caused by the applied shear stress, particularly the aggregation of platelets in a platelet suspension, can be accurately and quantitatively determined with a high sensitivity.
