Abstract

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is an alternative method for the separation and quantitative evaluation of serum proteins. CZE is very effective, quick and namely a precise method.

Two specific automated multichannel (multicapillary) instruments are available, the Paragon 2000 (Beckman-Coulter) and Capillarys 2 (Sebia), characterized by different number of assessed protein fractions are mentioned and newly tested reference intervals. Long-term observation of the cycles of external quality assurance (EQA) programs exemplifies smooth transition from agarose alectrophoresis to multichannel capillary system and comparability of analysis.
