新規膜「セレカ-VSP」を用いた血清タンパク分画の評価～全自動電気泳動分析装置CTE-1800（常光）による分析～

Following the discontinuation of manufacturing SEPARAX-SP, a cellulose acetate membrane from Fujifilm which had long been used in clinical laboratory testing, Advantec Toyo decided to manufacture another cellulose acetate membrane that exhibits the properties of SEPARAX-SP. However, it is unclear whether SELECA-VSP, the new product based on certain changes in the manufacturing process of the cellulose acetate membrane, is equivalent to SEPARAX-SP in quality. Thus, we conducted a basic study using a prototype membrane of SELECA-VSP on an automatic electrophoresis apparatus, and found that it could be applied to the currently used model of automatic electrophoresis apparatus without adjusting operating conditions. The basic study results and their correlations were promising enough to suggest that SELECA-VSP could replace SEPARAX-SP without problems.
