Osmotic stress data

This page includes osmotic pressure data from our lab and others. Unless otherwise stated, they are mirrored from the website of Peter Rand here, and are for the stated polymer dissolved in pure water.

All measurements were done at 20 degrees C, UNLESS otherwise stated. The temperature coefficient is low but some measurements can be found in Methods of Enzymology 127: p400-416 (1986) and more recent measurements at different temperatures have been completed for PEG 400 and PEG 8000 (Stanley and Strey, Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, University of Massachusetts)
