    Abstract

    A sample preparation is still the most critical step in two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and should be optimized for each type of sample. In this study, a protein extraction method from body fluids was developed using a combined centrifugal filter device and a sample treating buffer. When plasma, amniotic fluid, urine, and tear were tested with this method, the recovery of protein reached almost 90% and high-quality separation of 2-DE gel was obtained.
