Abstract excerpt
A new method for the detection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is described, and is a refinement of the method originally reported by Oberascher and Arrer in 1986. Immuno-electrophoretic measurements are performed in a two-buffer system, making the test easier to do and providing qualitative...
