A Cohn fraction IV immunological test system is a device that consists of or measures that fraction of plasma proteins, predominantly alpha- and beta-globulins, used as a raw material for the production of pure alpha- or beta-globulins. Measurement of specific alpha- or beta-globulins aids in the diagnosis of many diseases, such as Wilson\'s disease (an inherited disease affecting the liver and brain), Tangier\'s disease (absence of alpha-1-lipoprotein), malnutrition, iron deficiency anemia, red blood cell disorders, and kidney disease.
