Urine Protein Electrophoresis is a well-established technique routinely used in clinical laboratories to detect and quantify monoclonal components as Bence Jones proteins (Monoclonal Free Light Chains in urine) or other proteinuria disorder.
Key Benefits
Good agarose gel urine proteins separation: in 5 zone proteins indicate by software (from Albumin, to Gamma).
Clear band visualization: for qualitative and relative quantitative analysis for reliable interpretation of proteinuria screening.
Complete semi-automated: HYDRASYS 2 SCAN FOCUSING system including sample application, electrophoretic migration, staining, destaining and scanning connected to PHORESIS Software for interpretation, data & result management.
Main Characteristics
Test Principle
Based on zone electrophoresis separation on agarose gel.
Sample Type
Urine
Performances
Sensitivity
Monoclonal protein limit detection is about 0.017 g/dL.
According to the position of the monoclonal component and polyclonal background in the gamma zone, the detection limit may vary.
