What Is The Principle Of Coulter Counter?
A platinum electrode is placed inside the orifice tube and a second electrode is submerged into the beaker containing the cell dilution, creating an electrical circuit between the two electrodes.Current will flow from one electrode to the other through the orifice. When the cell suspension is drawn through the orifice, cells will displace their own volume of electrolyte and cause a resistance change, which is converted to a voltage change and is amplified and displayed.
