    This study presents an in vitro method to measure diffusion coefficients of labeled substances in cellular fluids. The technique accurately determines diffusion rates, validated using tritiated water.

    Area of Science:

    • Biophysics
    • Cell Biology
    • Physical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Understanding molecular transport in biological systems is crucial for cell function.
    • Accurate measurement of diffusion coefficients is essential for modeling cellular processes.
    • Existing methods for determining diffusion coefficients can be complex or limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel in vitro method for determining diffusion coefficients.
    • To measure the diffusion coefficients of radioactively labeled substances in cytoplasm and other fluids.
    • To assess the accuracy and applicability of the developed method.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a cylinder-based diffusion assay with radioactively labeled substances.
    • Measured the rate of substance loss from the cylinder into a stirred external medium.
