Hydraulic property estimates for the CMA/12 probe (4•1) used in the fluid transport model validation measurements (Figs. 5 and 6) and solute transport measurements in Fig. 11. The 100-kDa MWCO polyethersulfone membrane was 4-mm in length. Both perfusate flow rate (Qin) and collection vial apparent elevation (Δhapp) variations were employed to alter the ultrafiltration factor. The hydraulic properties are effluent resistance (ℜeff), and membrane hydraulic (Hm) and Darcy (κm) conductivities.
