serum immunoelectrophoresis

Procedure: - an electrical field across a diffusion medium, usually an agar or polyacrylamide gel - the effect is rapid migration of the antibody & antigen out of their respective wells towards one another to form a line of precipitation, or a precipitin line - this reduces the time necessary for visualization of the antigen-antibody reaction & increases the sensitivity of the analysis

Specific
