Hello everyone, I need some help here. I am interested in detecting a biomarker in urine.

However, I have never worked with urine and so I will need you advice on how to process the samples.

I will be grateful to hear from you. Thanks in advance

Dear Robert Adamu Shey,

My suggestion is Polyethylene glycol (PEG8000) precipitation method.
