Abstract:
An electro-kinetic transporter-conditioner, comprising:a housing; a first electrode array including at least one wire-shaped electrode, disposed in said housing; a second electrode array, removably disposed in said housing, having a base member and including at least two electrodes disposed substantially parallel to said wire-shaped electrode in said first electrode array, said wire-shaped electrode in said first electrode array being equidistant from said two electrodes in said second electrode array; a source of high voltage outputting a signal whose duty cycle may be varied from about 10% to about 100%, disposed in said housing, coupled between said first electrode array and said second electrode array; and means, attached to said base member, for frictionally cleaning said wire-shaped electrode whenever said base member of said second electrode array is moved within said housing.
