In order to study cellular physiology and biochemistry of                       biological and physiological cells, it is important that the                    cells of interest be separated effectively from heterogeneous                   mixtures.  Presently available separation techniques do not                     usually discriminate cells according to their physiological                     states or intracellular constituents.  This proposal seeks to                   develop a novel separation technique (to separate cells on the                  basis of their physiological characteristics) based on the                      ability of the cells to react to applied electromagnetic fields.                It is expected that the proposed technique will be fast and will                exert little stress on the cells (in contrast to some of the                    pr3esently available techniques).  The proposed technique would                 have a significant impact in the areas of genetic engineering and               immunology.                                                                                                                                                     The principal investigator and his company (Biotechnologies and                 Experimental Research, Inc.) have very good expertise in the area               of the proposed work and qualify for support under the Small                    Business Innovation Research Program.                                                                                                                           Support for Phase I (proof-of-concept) research, in the amount of               $40,000 for six months for FY87 funds is recommended.
