Description
Product Characteristics: In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony) to identify the serum protein pattern, or the presence or absence of an individual component. To evaluate the purity of an isolated serum protein including immunoglobulins. Since immuno- precipitation depends on a correct antigen/antibody concentration ratio (zone of equivalence) in the gel medium, the protein analysis by immunoelectrophoresis of serum or any other biological fluid or protein fraction should include different proportions of the reactants. It is not possible to obtain an optimal protein pattern in a single analysis. The electroendosmosis effect of different types of agar on proteins with a different net charge can be used to optimize the resolution power of the test system. Agar Nordic Nr. 2 contains sufficient positively charged ions to optimize the resolution of the proteins in the beta-gamma regions, while the alpha regions will become more dense. Highly purified agar (Agar Nordic nr. 1) with low electroendosmosis favours the resolution of the proteins in the alpha regions, while the major components in the beta-gamma region can still be identified.
Directions for use: In immunoelectrophoresis use 2 µl serum or equivalent against 120 µl antiserum. In double radial immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony) use a rosette arrangement with 10 µl antiserum in 3 mm diameter center well and 2 µl serum samples (neat and serially diluted in 2 mm diameter peripheral wells.
