=== Serum albumin purification ===
Affinity purification of albumin and macroglobulin contamination is helpful in removing excess albumin and α<sub>2</sub>-macroglobulin contamination, when performing mass spectrometry. In affinity purification of serum albumin, the stationary used for collecting or attracting serum proteins can be Cibacron Blue-Sepharose. Then the serum proteins can be eluted from the adsorbent with a buffer containing [[thiocyanate]] (SCN<sup>−</sup>).<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Naval|first1=Javier|last2=Calvo|first2=Miguel|last3=Lampreave|first3=Fermin|last4=Piñeiro|first4=Andrés|date=1983-01-01|title=Affinity chromatography of serum albumin: An illustrative laboratory experiment on biomolecular interactions|journal=Biochemical Education|language=en|volume=11|issue=1|pages=5–8|doi=10.1016/0307-4412(83)90004-3|issn=1879-1468}}</ref>
