Abstract We studied the precision of densitometric quantification of the protein zones resolved by cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Replicate analyses of patients' samples by a single technologist showed mean CVs ranging from 2.9% for serum albumin to 9.5% for alpha 1-globulin. There were marked differences in measurements obtained by replicate analysis of the same samples by two experienced technologists. We calculated what changes in fractional concentrations would be analytically significant and concluded that densitometry of cellulose acetate electrophoretograms can only be semi-quantitative. We suggest that visual interpretation of high-resolution electrophoretic patterns by a trained observer can replace densitometry in most cases.

Abstract A method of electrophoresis utilizing cellulose acetate is described wherein quantitation of serum protein fractions by densitometry is accomplished within 2 hr. of initiation of the procedure. The densitometer was found to have a linear response to amido black dye. Albumin and γ-globulin demonstrated equal dye-binding characteristics. Combined with the absence of albumin trailing, this has afforded excellent quantitations of serum protein fractions.
