QD-Cell™ stands for Quantitative Dialysis Cell. It is a disposable dialysis cell that is used for the separation of free and bound hormones by equilibrium dialysis. QD-Cell™ has two compartments separated by dialysis membrane. The smaller compartment holds the serum, while the larger compartment holds the dialysis buffer. The serum and dialysis buffer are loaded into the cell by open ports on the top of the QD-Cell™. The free hormone is collected from the dialysate and can be measured by immunoassay methods. It is especially useful and has been validated for HPLC or LCMSMS sample preparation for free and unbound hormones such as thyroxine, triiodothyronine, and testosterone. Buffer for performing the equilibrium dialysis is also available.
