Abstract :
We have developed a new method to measure the hydraulic conductivity of cell membrane (Lp), based on the principle that two liquids flow in laminar flow though relatively narrow space. The developed method has advantages that the number of the required cell sample is only one, and accurate measurement can be made as compare with the conventional method.
