Has anybody tried using a condom as a cell divider.


Hi, i have heard from different ppl that condoms can be used as cell dividers, instead of using ceramics in electrolysis.
Sheep guts i have also heard being used.

Anybody tried this? Did it work well?

Have a nice day! :)

I think that a condom, being (hopefully!) impervious, would not function well as a cell divider. Sheep guts might work.



As below, so above.

Lambskin condoms block sperm, but not microbes. They are, indeed, as the name might imply, made from sheep guts. They would block most mass flow but allow ion migration. As an organic product, they won't resist anything too caustic.

Never tried them, in any capacity.
