Q

True about electrophoresis

a. Proteins will stop migrating when it reach the isoelectric point

b. The pH of the buffer used in standard electrophoresis is pH 6.5
c. Plasma is used more often than serum
d. Standard electrophoresis separates protein into 12 zones

A

Proteins will stop migrating when they reach the isoelectric point

A - Isoelectric point (pI) – pH where protein has no net charge
B - pH 8.6
C – serum is used
D- 5 zones (Albumin, a1 globulin, a2 globulin, beta globulin, and gamma)

Q

The gold standard for drug testing?

A

The sample is volatilized, then separates the various components of the sample based on size and/or polarity. The separated components then go into a mass selective detector
