Serum Protein Electrophoresis is a well-established technique routinely used in clinical laboratories to screen samples to detect protein abnormalities as monoclonal gammopathies (Multiple Myeloma, MGUS, Waldenström disease) or inflammatory pattern…
Key Benefits
Good gel serum proteins separation in 5 or 6 major proteins fractions: Albumin, Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta, Gamma or Albumin, Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta-1, Beta-2, Gamma.
Clear band visualization: for qualitative and relative quantitative analysis for reliable interpretation of serum protein profile.
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.
High performance proteins Agarose Gel Electrophoresis separation.: by HYDRASYS 2 automation and standardization of samples preparation with ASSIST pipetting station.
Main Characteristics
Test Principle
Based on zone electrophoresis separation on agarose gel.
Sample Type
Serum
Performances
Sensitivity
Internal sensitivity study demonstrated that a monoclonal protein can be detected in a serum at a concentration as low as 17 mg/dL.
According to the mobility of the monoclonal component and polyclonal background, the sensitivity may vary.
