Electrophoretic Characterization of Aldehyde-Fixed Red Blood Cells, Kidney Cells, Lymphocytes and Chamber Coatings

摘要

This study was conducted for additional ground-based electrokinetic data on the Electrophoresis Flight Experiment to be flown on the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) Experiment MA-011. The candidate cells—aldehyde-fixed red blood cells, embryonic kidney cells and lymphocytes—were evaluated by analytical particle electrophoresis. This report documents the results which aided in the interpretation of the final analysis of the MA-011 experiment. The electrophoresis chamber surface modifications, the buffer, and the material used in the column system are also discussed.
