Lactose Permeability in Dialysis Tubing: A Scientific Explanation
Yes, lactose can move across dialysis tubing.
Dialysis tubing is a semipermeable membrane that allows small molecules like water and ions to pass through, while blocking larger molecules like proteins. Lactose is a relatively small molecule, with a molecular weight of 342.3 g/mol, so it can easily pass through dialysis tubing.
