Abstract
INTEREST in immuno-electrophoresis and its application both to research and in clinical pathology is rapidly increasing. I have developed a technique which is comparatively simple, reliable and very economical in the use of the anti-serum, which is still quite difficult to obtain. An additional advantage is the very distinct separation of the alpha-1 fraction, which usually is only poorly separated in agar electrophoresis. The electrophoretic pattern can be controlled according to requirements by adjusting the current time, buffer concentration and pH and the fluid levels in the buffer compartments.
