A microgravimetry apparatus is described which utilizes osmotically-
balanced Percoll gradients produced by a computer-driven low pressure
gradient system. A plexiglass reservoir was designed to minimize parallax
artifacts while allowing repeated measurements and easy retrieval of groups
of 20 samples. This system provides inert and nontoxic gradients with
profile flexibility, reproducibility, and longevity when used for the
routine gravimetric measurement of edema in 30-mg central nervous system
tissue fragments.
