ABSTRACT:
An improved particle sensing transducer apparatus and method for studying the physical properties of particles suspended in an electrolyte solution. The transducer apparatus includes a first chamber, at least a portion of which contains a quantity of the electrolyte solution with a first electrode disposed therein. A second chamber is provided, at least a portion of which contains a quantity of the electrolyte solution with a second electrode disposed therein. The transducer further includes an orifice for establishing a constricted electrical path by providing a passageway for a sample flow of electrolyte solution containing the particles between the two chambers. The improvement comprises a fluid retarding, ion conducting material, such as a gel, frit or membrane, interposed between the sample flow and at least one of the electrodes so as to pass an ionic current while retarding the electrolyte flow from the electrode.
