Gas Chromatography
A chromatographic technique in which the stationary phase is solid while the mobile phase is gaseous samples. The gaseous samples are separated based on their different adsorption ability to the solid phase.

A chromatographic technique in which the stationary phase is solid while the mobile phase is gaseous samples. The gaseous samples are separated based on their different adsorption ability to the solid phase.
Technology
An analytical technique wherein gas chromatography is coupled to mass spectrometry in order to separate, identify, and quantify substances in a sample.
Technology
Gel electrophoresis is a method of separating large molecules (such as DNA fragments or proteins) from a mixture of similar molecules by electrophoretic filtration through a gelatinous matrix. Subject to an electric field, each molecule in the sample mixture migrates through the matrix at a different rate, depending mainly on electrical charge and size, resulting in spatial separation within the matrix of each molecular species in the sample mixture. Agarose and acrylamide in a cylindrical tube or slab gel are commonly used media for electrophoresis of proteins and nucleic acids.
Technology
An in vitro assay that is used to determine whether antibodies present in serum samples will prevent hemagglutination in a cell culture plate containing red blood cells and influenza virus.
Technology
Frequently referred to simply as HPLC, this form of column chromatography is used frequently in biochemistry. The analyte is forced through a column by liquid at high pressure, which decreases the time the separated components remain on the stationary phase. Less time on the column then translates to narrower peaks in the resulting chromatogram and thence to better selectivity and sensitivity.
Technology
A type of chromatography assay in which an antibody-conjugate is passed over an immobilized antigen, giving a visual indication of positive or negative result.
Technology
A method for the detection of proteins or antigens on samples of cells that are grown in monolayers or in suspension and deposited on slides using antibodies or other biomolecules that bind the target and can be visualized through a chemical process.
Technology
A laboratory testing method to determine the concentrations of immunoglobulins in the blood.
Technology
An enhancement of immunoelectrophoresis in which a series of post-electrophoretic gel slabs are layered with cellulose-acetate gels saturated with specific antibodies. The resulting antigen-antibody complexes fixed on the second gel may then be stained, allowing sensitive and specific qualitative visual identification of paraproteins by electrophoretic position. It can be used to identify specific proteins in the blood or urine. It has greatest application in the identification and monitoring of monoclonal proteins that are produced in conditions like Waldenstom's macroglobulinaemia and multiple myeloma.
Technology
Immunohistochemical staining techniques allow for the visualization of antigens via the sequential application of a specific antibody to the antigen (primary antibody), a secondary antibody to the primary antibody and an enzyme complex with a chromogenic substrate. The enzymatic activation of the chromogen results in a visible reaction product at the antigen site. The specimen may then be counterstained and coverslipped. Results are interpreted using a light microscope and aid in the differential diagnosis of pathophysiological processes, which may or may not be associated with a particular antigen.
Technology
An immunological procedure in which antibodies are coupled with a peroxidase molecule. Following localization via the antibody, the peroxidase is reacted with a corresponding substrate to produce a product which can be seen with a light microscope.
Technology
Antigen aggregation with antibody, in the right ratios, to cause precipitation.
