About Serum Protein by Capillary Electrophoresis
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).

Key benefits
Serum Protein Electrophoresis (SPE) delivers high-quality results through full automation on capillary instruments, supporting clinicians at every stage of the myeloma patient journey.
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.
