Can starch pass through visking tubing?

We supply Visking tubing and offer the following information: The molecular weight cut-off of this product is 12000 - 14000 daltons. This means in theory that molecules larger in MW than this will not pass through the membranes and ones smaller will. Starch has a very high molecular weight and the tubing is often used to illustrate the effect of enzymes breaking starch down into to simple sugars. Starch therefore should not pass through the membrane wall. The user of this product should be aware that this is a nominal cut-off and long thin molecules above the 14kd cut-off may go through and globular molecules below may be retained. In addition the charge on a molecule may effect the rate of transfer across the membrane.

What part of our bodies acts like a visking tube?

You may be thinking of the blood capillaries. Like visking tubing, their walls are able to let substances diffuse in and out. This is also true of the cell membranes. However both of these are much more permeable than visking tubing. The kidney contains semi-permeable membranes which allow urea to pass through but not other substances such as proteins.
