High throughput Serum Protein Electrophoresis, with high resolution results.
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
Fully automated testing: for qualitative or quantitative analysis with fast serum protein separation and good resolution.
Direct visualisation of Serum Protein profile: for quick screening and identification of abnormal patterns.
Separation into major protein fractions: CAPI 3 PROTEIN(E) 6 kit enables the separation into six major fractions: Albumin, Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta-1, Beta-2, Gamma.
Ability to quantify abnormal peaks in two modes: Valley to valley or Baseline to top.
Main Characteristics
Test principle
Serum Proteins are separated in silica capillaries by their electrophoretic mobility and the electroosmotic flow at high voltage in an alkaline buffer. Proteins are directly detected during migration by UV absorbance at 200 nm and quantified by the peak quantification tool.
Sample type
Serum
Performances
Full traceability and positive sample ID from primary tube samples
Full traceability and reagents management through RFID tags
Color-coded backlit reagent containers
Rapid validation via 96 profile mosaic display
Sensitivity
Monoclonal protein can be detected at a concentration as low as 19 mg/dL.
According to the mobility of the monoclonal component and polyclonal background, the sensitivity may vary.
