Understand the principles of protein electrophoresis and immunotyping
Review how proteins are separated and how immunoglobulin heavy and light chains are identified.
Challenges in Implementing Capillary Electrophoresis for Immunotyping
Advances and innovations in laboratory technologies for performing protein electrophoresis and immunotyping, combined with the workforce shortage of laboratory professionals have prompted many clinical laboratories to consider the implementation of more automated methods for performing this testing.
However, moving from gel-based testing to capillary platforms presents its share of analytical and operational challenges. Hear from a recent implementer of this technology and how clinical laboratories are successfully moving towards a more automated and reproducible process.
This webinar is presented in English.
