An improved micro-electrophoresis electrode assembly for use in micro-biological investigations

In the assembly described the electrode liquid (potassium chloride solution) is separated from the suspension under investigation by a sintered glass disk (instead of a plaster plug) and this results in a more permanent and reliable apparatus. The apparatus can be used at higher field strengths than was previously possible, thus enabling low electrophoretic mobility values to be accurately determined. Results obtained are in good agreement with those reported in the literature.
