Abstract
THE method described by Kohn1 for the analysis of serum proteins by zone electrophoresis on strips of cellulose acetate membrane has been proved to be of great value. The development of this technique, as a micro-electrophoretic method2, has emphasized the importance of cellulose acetate as a stabilizing medium. The sheets of cellulose acetate are relatively expensive compared with filter paper, and their higher cost may deter workers from using this excellent material. It has been found that the cellulose acetate membrane strip may be used several times after suitable treatment by the method to be described.
