Thermal convection counter streaming sedimentation method and apparatus for controlling the sex of mammalian offspring

摘要

Appts. for sepg. particles suspended in liq. media comprising an electrophoresis cell with a pair of electrodes a convection column communicating with and between the electrodes of the electrophoresis cell, a device for feeding media into the cell and a device adjacent each electrode for removing desired fractions of particles having the same electric potential from the liq. medium. Used for control of sex of mammalian offspring by sepn. of spermatozoa having X chromosomes to produce males from those with Y chromosomes to produce females. For use in man and for controlled breeding of animals.
