Zone electrophoresis of serum proteins is still widely performed as a routine procedure in clinical laboratories. It is used in the diagnosis and management of many disorders, e.g. monoclonal gammopathies, cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, acute-phase reaction, immunoglobulin deficiency and others. The aim of this work is to evaluate the analytical performance of zone electrophoresis of serum proteins carried out in the Helena Laboratories Rapid Electrophoresis analyser (REP) comparing the results with those obtained in the Olympus Hite System 200 (HS-200). The REP system employs agarose gel as support medium, the HS-200 system employs cellulose acetate and it is the routine method in our laboratory. To date, we have not found any paper that deals with the assessment of a system for performing zone electrophoresis of serum proteins in terms of comparison with another.

Background: Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a highly versatile separation technique widely used in analytical chemistry. Traditionally, CE can be categorized as either aqueous or non-aqueous systems based on the buffer solvents employed. For decades, non-aqueous CE has been predominantly associated with the use of organic solvents, a perception deeply ingrained in the scientific community.

Characterizing major bovine milk proteins, including whey and casein, is of significant interest in the dairy industry. The diverse array of protein proteoforms can be different in terms of genetic variation, breed ways, lactation stage, and animal nutritional status. Current routine methods for bovine milk protein profiling are typically based on immunological techniques, infrared spectroscopy, slab gel isoelectric focusing, capillary electrophoresis, and high-performance liquid chromatography.

A dysregulated metabolism has been studied as a key aspect of the COVID-19 pathophysiology, but its longitudinal progression in severe cases remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate metabolic dysregulation over time in patients with severe COVID-19 requiring mechanical ventilation (MV). In this single-center, prospective, observational study, we obtained 236 serum samples from 118 adult patients on MV in an ICU.

Even more sample-limited yet rich in biological information are phosphoproteomics experiments, as the phosphoproteome composes only a fraction of the whole cellular proteome. Rapid analysis, high sensitivity, and maximization of sample utilization are paramount for single-cell analysis.

Here we report the outcome of a collaborative study aimed at demonstrating the suitability of the candidate Chemical Reference Substance (CRS) as a replacement reference (batch 2) for the physicochemical methods in European Pharmacopoeia monograph . Results from the study demonstrated that for the physicochemical methods described in the monograph - capillary zone electrophoresis, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting, peptide mapping and glycan mapping - the candidate CRS is essentially identical to CRS batch 1 and is suitable to be established as Erythropoietin for physicochemical tests CRS batch 2. CRS batch 2 is a freeze-dried preparation presented in vials.
