Protein electrophoresis is a well-established technique routinely used in clinical laboratories to screen samples to detect protein abnormalities (gammopathies, inflammatory pattern…).
Using the MINICAP instrument, the MINICAP PROTEIN(E) 6 kit enables the separation of:
MINICAP instruments automatically process the samples to obtain protein profiles for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Direct UV detection provides accurate relative quantification of the individual protein fractions. Profiles can be interpreted visually to screen for any pattern abnormalities.
Serum and urine protein electrophoresis are essential to detect and quantify monoclonal components for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with monoclonal gammopathies (Multiple Myeloma, MGUS, Waldenström disease…).
The MINICAP PROTEIN(E) 6 assay is based on the principle of capillary electrophoresis in free solution. Serum and urine proteins are separated in silica capillaries by their electrophoretic mobility and electroosmotic flow at high voltage in an alkaline buffer. Proteins are directly detected during migration by UV absorbance. Each fraction contains one or more proteins.
Two modes are available for manual peak quantification:
