"...We can screen out a lot more abnormalities the first time around and avoid putting the patient through something much more difficult, such as a bone marrow screening.”

CAPILLARYS 2 and MINICAP Protein 6 Assay

SERUM:

Designed for the separation of serum proteins in alkaline buffer on Sebia's capillary electrophoresis instruments - CAPILLARYS 2 and MINICAP. A high voltage protein separation is performed and direct protein detection takes place at 200 nm. Normal major proteins separate into six fractions — albumin, alpha-1, alpha-2, beta-1, beta-2 and gamma globulins. The resulting pattern can be delimited into either five or six protein fractions. Since it is not uncommon for monoclonal proteins to migrate in the beta region of a pattern, higher resolution of this fraction is ideal and better facilitates the identification of a monoclonal protein

The CAPILLARYS and MINICAP Protein 6 assays allow for no triglyceride interference – more reproducible alpha-1 fraction results.

URINE:

The CAPILLARYS Urine reagent is designed for the preparation of urine samples before separation of urine proteins with the CAPILLARYS Protein 6 procedure. Automated electrophoretic separation takes place with the CAPILLARYS 2 instrument in order to obtain a qualitative analysis of the urine proteins. Five major fractions (albumin, alpha-1, alpha-2, beta, and gamma) are displayed for simpler visual interpretation. Urine electrophoresis is useful to detect monoclonal components, particularly Bence Jones proteins (monoclonal free light chains), or other urinary proteins.
