Electrophoresis of progesterone particles dispersed in carbohydrate and nonelectrolyte solutions
Electrophoretic mobilities of progesterone particles dispersed in aqueous solutions Of D-glucose and urea (concentration range 0.1 to 1 mM) have been measured in order to investigate the electrical properties of the interface. Zeta potentials have been determined for this purpose. The dependence of Zeta potentials on concentration has also been examined. Theory of the electrical double layer has been used to explain the results.
