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.
