KROK 1 2020 – Question 34 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
Various physical and physico-chemical methods are used in research of blood serum proteins. In particular, serum albumins and globulins can be separated using the following method:
- A. Spectrophotometry
- B. Polarography
- C. Dialysis
- D. Electrophoresis
- E. Refractometry
Hint
Think about which physical property differs between albumin and the globulins, and which laboratory technique exploits that difference to pull the fractions apart.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
