title: Analytical isotachophoresis: a new method for analysis of cerebrospinal fluid proteins. A preliminary report.
abstract: Isotachophoresis of CSF proteins seems to be a very promising method. Very small CSF samples, a few mul of concentrated and 15-30 mul of unconcentrated CSF, can be quickly analysed (30-60 min), and the results immediately obtained on a recorder. Using unconcentrated CSF, losses due to concentration procedures, are avoided. Low-molecular weight compounds, e.g. in CSF ultrafiltrates, can also be examined. The method gives high resolution, is reproducible, and is easy to perform. The isotachophoretic findings have been compared with those of electrofocusing.
