Effective removal of albumin from serum

Abstract
The protein constituents of serum can range from grams to picograms per liter, making it technically difficult to achieve in‐depth proteomic analysis. Removal of highly abundant proteins, such as albumin, coupled to powerful protein separation methods is required for increased sample load, thus facilitating detection and identification of low‐abundant proteins. We report here a chemical‐based extraction method for the effective and specific removal of albumin from serum.
