Urine Protein by Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Proteinuria screening for renal disease.
About Urine Protein by Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Urine Protein Electrophoresis is a well-established technique routinely used in clinical laboratories to detect and quantify monoclonal components as Bence Jones proteins (Monoclonal Free Light Chains in urine) or other proteinuria disorders.
Key benefits
Urine proteins with clear separation
into 5 fractions indicated by software (from Albumin to Gamma).
Clear band visualization
for qualitative and relative quantitative analysis for reliable interpretation of proteinuria screening.
Semi-automated
HYDRASYS 2 SCAN FOCUSING system includes sample application, electrophoretic migration, staining, destaining and scanning connected to PHORESIS Software for interpretation, data & result management.
Full traceability
using ASSIST pipetting station with HYDRASYS 2.
Main characteristics
Based on zone electrophoresis separation on agarose gel.
Urine
Sensitivity
- Monoclonal protein limit detection is about 0.017 g/dL.
- According to the position of the monoclonal component and polyclonal background in the gamma zone, the detection limit may vary.
