- Specimen
- 0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube
- Description
- Total protein, Albumin, Globulin, Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1, and Gamma 1 fraction assessment with interpretation.
An evaluation of the globulin fraction of the serum (alpha 1, alpha 2, beta, and gamma) to determine if the globulin fraction is monoclonal based on these components.
Interferences: marked hemolysis or lipemia. Hemolysis may falsely elevate the beta globulin fraction.
