Analysis Note
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone that controls red blood cell production. EPO was one of the first genetically engineered therapeutic proteins. It is available under such brand names as Epogen and Aranesp for the treatment of anemia. Human EPO has a molecular mass of 34 kDa. The 5 micron SRT SEC-300 column is operated at a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. Note that after the main peak, an impurity elutes at about 16 minutes.
