Abstract :
The project goal is to design a laboratory experience for undergraduate biomedical engineering students capable of demonstrating molecular transport mechanisms. The two transport methods of interest are diffusion and osmosis. To relate these methods to physiological processes, the proposed laboratory apparatus will be a model for both capillary filtration and cell membrane diffusion.
