Abstract: Electrical phenomena of cell membranes may be examined by means of cell electrophoresis. Direct microscopic techniques are tedious, inaccurate and rarely, reproducible. Therefore, the authors have developed a new device using Doppler velocimetry. After describing the apparatus, they propose two methods for testing treatment against electroosmosis and present the first biological applications on mixed populations of red cells.
