of CALP in canine serum. For this reason, we suppose that the CALP isoform was
the cause of the incorrect subdivision in some electrophoretic patterns. CALP could
create interference with the migration of other isoforms, in particular, BALP. The
Hydragel system is only suitable to measure ALP isoforms in healthy dogs and,
therefore, not applicable in canine clinical practice. It may be interesting to modify
the voltage or contact times between the serum and gel during the automatic phase
of the Hydragel procedure, using a greater number of samples with CALP, to see
whether it is possible to improve the performance of the system.
