Able to be separated or purified through dialysis, a process where small molecules pass through a membrane while larger ones don't.
From dialyze (Greek dia- 'through' + lysis 'loosening') + -able suffix meaning 'capable of.' The word emerged in the 19th century as dialysis became a standard laboratory technique.
Dialyzable is crucial in kidney disease treatment—when kidneys fail, dialysis machines separate waste products from blood by exploiting which molecules can slip through special membranes, literally saving lives by doing what sick kidneys can't.
