Rocket electrophoresis

ROCKET ELECTROPHORESIS

Instead of allowing the antigen in wells to diffuse into the antiserum containing agar (Mancini test), if it is driven into the antiserum agar by electrophoresis, the ring of precipitate around each well becomes deformed into a rocket shape and length of the rocket is proportional to the amount of antigen placed in the well. This technique is called rocket electrophoresis.
