Initially, the inlet concentration for MS2 is ϕin=600 nM and for the free dye (Alexa Fluor 594) is ϕin=30μM. The outlet concentrations shown are measured after the experiments. The results from BD simulations are also shown in the last column. For the MS2, the Sherwood numbers measured using BD simulations are also reported for slightly larger and slightly smaller pores, corresponding to ± one SD of the membrane pore radius as measured by SEM; these results are shown in square brackets.
