Dielectrophoresis of Macromolecules: Determination of the Diffusion Constant of Poly-γ-Benzyl-L-Glutamate

Abstract
The translational diffusion constant of poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate in ethylene dichloride was measured by dielectrophoresis. The method is rapid, precise to about ± 5 percent, and yields values in good agreement with those obtained by standard methods.
