Abstract

Disclosed is a process and device for determining which cells of a suspension containing cells of the same species and genus are secreting cellular substances. Such determinations are made by exposing the cells to rotating electrical field forces of variable rotational speed and differentiating the cells secreting the cellular substances from the other cells by means of their rotational behavior which differs from that of the other cells.
