Test presentation
Protein electrophoresis is a well-established technique for proteinuria screening. The HYDRAGEL 5 PROTEINURIE kit separates urine proteins according to their molecular weight on the HYDRASYS instrument.
The semi-automated HYDRASYS instrument allows migration and staining of the agarose gels, in order to obtain protein profiles for qualitative analysis. The resulting electrophoretic pattern is visually inspected and compared to molecular weight protein markers to characterize proteinuria.
This test allows the screening of the Bence Jones protein.
