Abstract
The first stage of the two-stage cell electrofusion technique involves the dielectrophoretic apposition, in an AC field, or protoplasts suspended in a medium of relatively low specific conductivity. A frequency at which the maximum dielectrophoretic force is exerted is given by the characteristic frequency for the dielectric relaxation by a Maxwell-Wagner type of mechanism. We provide a nomograph for the rapid calculation of this frequency.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
