Abstract

A laboratory practical work has been designed for the quantitative determination of serum proteins by means of rapid vertical electrophoresis. A calibration curve was used for the determination of the concentrations of different protein fractions separated by electrophoresis. The results obtained by this method are as accurate as those obtained by traditional ones, with the advantage of greater simplicity and reduced time.
