Abstract
Objectives of cell separation experiments can be either analytical or preparative in nature. The techniques for accomplishing such separations can be directed toward either a high-versatility, research capability or toward more focused, restricted research goals. Previous stable-flow free boundary (Staflo) methods, principally sedimentation and electrophoresis, were developed to meet both of the above kinds of cell separation needs (Mel, 1960, 1964, 1970; Tippetts et al., 1967). Furthermore, previous Staflo apparatuses were conceived and developed for the widest possible range of applications regardless of the complexity or sophistication of constructions and operation. In other words, if it appeared that a given feature might be important or useful, it was included.
