Abstract
Clinical proteomics encompasses the study of the proteins in the human body at different settings to understand the various physiological and pathological pathways. The processing of the samples for electrophoresis based proteomics is a challenge to any researcher. Salt in particular can have an array of effects during the electrophoretic separation of proteins. There is a definite need to determine the concentration of salts in the samples and the effectiveness of salt removing protocols on small volume samples. A simple-cost effective technique to know the salt concentration in the clinical proteomics samples has been highlighted in the report. The application will be of value in a developing country such as India.
