Determination of immunologically active materials and system therefore
First Claim
1. Process for determining an immunologically-active material in a fluid, comprising using an inert gel matrix on a non-reactive support, said inert gel matrix containing an electrolyte and two opposite sides of said gel matrix being connected to an alternating current source means, applying an aliquot of a sample of the fluid onto said gel, covering the area of application with a solution containing an immunologically-specific counter-reactive material, applying an alternating current to said gel matrix, removing the unreacted soluble materials and observing the results of the immunological reaction at the area of application of the sample.

Abstract
A method and system for a rapid and sensitive method for determining immunologically active materials in a biological fluid by observing an antigen-antibody reaction after application of reactants on the surface of a gel matrix and applying an alternating current thereto.
