The separation of plasma lipoproteins into VLDL, LDL, and HDL by a single 24-hr
ultracentrifugation in swinging-bucket rotors is described. The mean recovery of loaded
lipoprotein cholesterol is 89.3±1.3%. The method employs a discontinuous salt gradient and
separates VLDL, LDL, and HDL as verified by cellulose acetate-and immuno-
electrophoresis. The method offers some advantages for research applications.
