Human/animal serum and plasma are the best sources of samples for biomarker identification. However, the

presence of albumin in large amounts interferes with many assays and functional proteomic analysis. Serum

albumin accounts for 50-70% of the total serum protein that causes loss of resolution for 1D and 2D

electrophoresis. Effective removal of albumin using our reagent can increase sensitivity of the assay for

many folds. Unlike a resin-based depletion kit (that only deals with microliteramounts of a sample), Minute

albumin depletion reagent can handle a few microliters and up to several milliliters of samples. Over 90% of

albumin can be removed in less than 5 minutes.
