Whole lipoproteins from serum of a healthy person were analyzed using PROTEIN KW-804, an aqueous SEC (GFC) column. The result shows a good separation of the three kinds of lipoproteins (VLDL, LDL and HDL) in serum.

(Preparation of sample)
- Adjust specific gravity of serum of a healthy person to 1.210g/mL added potassium bromide followed by ultracentrifugation for 24 hours.
- After dialyzing the supernatant, solvent substitute by PBS^*.
- Measure protein concentration by Lowry method and dilute with PBS* to 1.0mg/mL.
