Traditionally, most clinical laboratory electrophoresis utilizes methods that separate and identify proteins in serum, urine, CSF, and some other body fluids. Most studies are designed to detect serum protein abnormalities and gather more information about gammopathies.
In recent years, there has been a resurgence in electrophoresis use and methods. Development of automated methods has enhanced this. The evolution of numerous molecular diagnostic investigations and research in proteomics have also augmented electrophoresis.
