Abstract
The method described allows rapid analysis, by pH modulation, of the coalescence of small samples of biological materials in dilute suspensions. Specifically, agglutination of various species of viruses and bacteria at their isoelectric points, and the polymerization process of the muscle protein actin are investigated. A typical time of analysis is 20 sec, and 5 ml of suspensions as dilute as 0.2 mg/ml are sufficient for most viruses investigated.
