Immunofixation electrophoresis is the process of separating proteins in the blood (serum) or urine using an electric current to move them across a thin layer of gel. It is used to identify the presence or absence of abnormal proteins and to detect, diagnose and monitor the course and treatment of conditions associated with these proteins, including multiple myeloma and other related diseases. (Lab Test Online UK).This manual guides practitioners through the technique and interpretation of immunofixation electrophoresis. Beginning with an introduction, the book provides a step by step description of the techniques, instruments, electrophoresis patterns and their interpretation, stains used, and diseases that may be diagnosed with this process.More than 200 full colour images and illustrations enhance learning. Key pointsStep by step guide to immunofixation electrophoresisDescribes different methods and their interpretationCovers diseases that may be diagnosed using electrophoresis, including multiple myelomaIncludes more than 200 full colour images and illustrations

This book essentially covers everything presented in MLT-6 but in an abridged/shortened and easy-to-digest format. The book is presented in a flowing noninterrupted format and not in a cumbersome experiment-wise cascading flow. There is no break in the style that runs smoothly and is easier to absorb and assimilate. As experiments are a part of any course, more stress has been laid out in the book to understand the intricacies of relevant theories and even troubleshooting all experiments that you would conduct during the course of your study.
