Table 1.
Method | Strengths | Weaknesses |
---|---|---|
HPLC | Sperior to quantify ALB isoforms | Cannot determine post-translational modifications |
LC-MS | Sperior to characterize post-translational modifications | Less quantitative |
Colorimetric | Simple and rapid | Less accurate and informative |
HPLC, high-performance liquid chromatography; and LC-MS, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.
