Freelite quantitatively measures serum kappa and lambda free light chains (FLCs) and can be used in initial testing, monitoring and prognosis of patients with suspected monoclonal gammopathies.
Performing Freelite and serum electrophoresis analysis provides an efficient initial diagnostic screen, and means that urine electrophoresis can be ordered more selectively.
Freelite is:
A simple and sensitive latex-enhanced immunoassay
Based on polyclonal antisera to ensure recognition of the widest variety of free light chains
Provides quantitative results quickly - results typically within 30 minutes
Recommended by International and National guidelines
Available on a wide range of nephelometric and turbidimetric analysers including Optilite and SPAPLUS analysers from the Binding Site specifically designed for specialist protein testing
Freelite provides:
Improved turn-around times for patient results compared to electrophoretic test methods
Greater sensitivity than electrophoretic methods for the detection of FLCs
Reliable results, with excellent precision, batch-to-batch consistency and linearity
