Abstract
An instrument is described and discussed which can determine the magnetopho retic mobility of immunomagnetically labeled cells and paramagnetic particl es. Through the use of a well-characterized magnetic energy gradient and a computer algorithm, cell tracking velocimetry, it is possible to obtain the mean and distribution of the magnetophoretic mobility for samples with gre ater than 10(3) individuals.
