Precast Gels for Urinary Protein Diagnostics: Electrophoresis of Urinary Proteins with SDS Urine Gels

Proteinuria, the presence of abnormal amounts of protein in urine, can be an indicator of kidney and kidney-related diseases. Detection of proteins in a urine sample can be performed with electrophoresis, this application note describes a method using SDS electrophoresis with polyacrylamide gel, this provides high resolution images and has greater detection sensitivity than agarose gel electrophoresis.
