Thanks for the explanations. It's been decades since my last biology
course. I'm not familiar with the kda term,


Its kilo-dalton. One dalton is the mass of one Hydrogen atom. When you
start talking about very minute masses - as in tangential flow (TFF) and
diafiltration systems (like RO as an example)- daltons are a common
unit, especially in the biotech world where TFF is commonly used for
protein purification/extraction for example.

Must be more of a biochemical thing. In chemical oceanography, we
generally used either AMUs or micro-moles.
