Casandra Test Code QD48485Version 1 (DRAFT)
Performing Lab
Immunofixation (IFE) and Immunoglobulins Panel (IgG, IgA, IgM), Serum
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
Immunofixation is useful in characterizing M components identified by protein electrophoresis. Quantitation of immunoglobulins provides an assessment of the magnitude and measure for monitoring the M component.
