Test presentation
Protein immunofixation is a well-established technique for the characterization of any suspected monoclonal component on serum or urine electrophoresis.
The HYDRAGEL IF/BJ (HR), when used on the HYDRASYS instrument, separates and characterizes full monoclonal immunoglobulins and Bence Jones proteins (Monoclonal Free Light Chains), in human serum or urine. The resulting patterns are longer and provide higher resolution in comparison to conventional IF and BJ kits.
The semi-automated HYDRASYS instrument offers sample application, electrophoretic migration, immunofixation and staining.
The sensitivity of the HYDRAGEL IF/BJ (HR) kit allows the detection of very small monoclonal components.
