A constant albumin factor for the calculation of the percentage composition of the serum-protein fraction obtained by elution of paper electrophoresis strips : the azocarmine staining of strips

Abstract

A new method of calculating the percentages of serum protein is discussed. This method has a smaller distribution curve than the factor that is generally used for the correction of the extinction of the albumin fraction obtained with the elution method. The magnitude of the new factor is 1.22 ± 0.06, that of the old factor is 1.64 ± 0.29.
