The George Washington University Hospital laboratory recently acquired an advanced e electrophoresis system. Electrophoresis is a method for analyzing the protein in serum, urine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Results can be used to evaluate, diagnose and monitor a variety of diseases and conditions, including cancer, intestinal or kidney protein-wasting syndromes, immune system disorder, liver dysfunction, impaired nutrition and chronic fluid-retaining conditions. This new system also is capable of performing the current gold standard method for diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS). The instrument provides superior sensitivity and higher resolution over our previous manual method.
