electrokinetic effects, electrokinetic phenomena
Conditions associated with relative movements between a charged surface and an electrolytic solution.

The surface is ordinarily either a solid particle suspended in the solution or the medium through which the solution flows.

An instrument that converts dynamic physical forces into electric signals.
zeta potential, electrokinetic potential, bioelectric potential
1. A potential gradient that arises across the interface between the boundary liquid layer in contact with a solid and the movable diffuse layer in the body of the liquid.
2. Electrokinetic potential refers to the potential developed across any interface separating two phases as a result of the accumulation of electrons in one phase and the loss of electrons in the other.
3. Bioelectric potential refers to the difference of electric potential between the inside and the outside of a cell.
4. The ratio of the zetacrit to the hematocrit, used as an indicator of the red blood cell sedimentation rate.
5. The potential developed across any interface separating two phases as a result of the accumulation of electrons in one phase and the loss of electrons in the other direction.
