Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2020;55(13):1098-1102
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of stains on the purity detection results of human serum albumin by agarose gel electrophoresis, thus to select appropriate stain so that the detection result of agarose gel electrophoresis method can be basically consistent with the method specified in the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis method. METHODS: Acid blue, amino black and ponceau were used in agarose gel electrophoresis to detect the purity of 30 batches of human serum albumin samples, and the results were compared with those obtained by cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis. RESULTS: Impurity bands could not be detected by ponceau stain; the results of amino black staining was significantly lower than that of cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis. There was no statistical difference between the results of amino black staining and cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis. The results of 25 batches of samples detected by cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis were within the 95% confidence interval of the results detected by amino black staining. CONCLUSION: The category of stain has great influence on the detected purity of human serum albumin when using agarose gel electrophoresis. The results of amino black staining is consistent with those of the method recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia in use.
