METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTION OF VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR (VWF) MULTIMERS

摘要

Methods of analyzing the electrophoretic mobility distribution of von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimers include providing a sample medium comprisi ng a plurality vWF multimers. The vWF multimers are electrophoretically separat ed by electrophoretic mobility in the sample medium by subjecting said sample medium to an electric field to provide separated vWF multimers. The separate d vWF multimers in the sample medium are exposed to a light source to produce scattered light. The scattered light is detected, and the electrophoretic mobility distribution of the separated vWF multimers is determined from the detected scattered light.
