Abstract
The invention relates to a separation procedure for Lp(a) and the various lipoproteins contained in a biological sample by electrophoresis. The present invention is characterized in that the electrophoretic migration of the lipoproteins is carried out under conditions such that the electrophoresis gel and/or the above-mentioned biological sample contains compounds capable of modifying the electrophoretic mobility of Lp(a) differentially with respect to that of the other lipoproteins.
