Figure 8

Percentage distribution as a function of peak amplitude for experiments with (1) Pure solution of 2.8 µm beads (red, 300 particles detected). Higher amplitude levels greater than 10 μV are due to beads aggregating, (2) Pure solution of Mantle cells (blue, 300 particles detected), (3) Mixture of bare beads with bead-cell aggregates (black, 200 particles detected). The peaks on the black curve with amplitude greater than 10 μV result from bead-cell aggregates. Frequency and amplitude of the input AC voltage were 500 kHz and 1 V respectively. (p < 0.05 for beads and cell).
