title: A comparison of the analytical ultracentrifuge and high-performance liquid chromatography for the determination of molecular weight distributions of plasma protein fraction (human).
abstract: The use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with size exclusion column packings is investigated as an alternate assay method to the analytical ultracentrifuge, when assaying for the high molecular weight components of human plasma protein fraction. Results indicate that HPLC is a more accurate and precise method for assaying high molecular weight components in plasma protein fraction, even when present in small amounts.
