Free zone electrophoresis simulation of static column electrophoresis in microgravity on shuttle flight STS-3Experiments were designed to replicate, as closely as possible in 1-G, the conditions of the STS-3 red blood cell (RBC) experiments. Free zone electrophoresis was the method of choice, since it minimizes the role of gravity in cell migration. The physical conditions of the STS-3 experiments were used, and human and rabbit RBC's fixed by the same method were the test particles. The effects of cell concentration, electroosmotic mobility, and sample composition were tested in order to seek explanations for the STS-3 results and to provide data on cell concentration effects for future zero-G separation on the continuous-flow zero-G electrophoretics separator.
