Abstract

Scientists and forensic experts are making use of macromolecules and their separation. Proteins are unique macromolecules produced by individuals and have provided key evolutionary genetic relationships. Two of the most common techniques used to separate proteins for analyzation electrophoresis and the Ouchterlony technique. The purpose of this comparative analysis project was to broaden the researcher’s laboratory skills to compare the two techniques in terms of efficiency,, cost efficiency, accuracy of results, and interpretation of results. Albumins were chosen for analysis because these proteins are known to be important to biology and are in great concentration in blood plasma.
