Electrophoretic techniques have long been the clinical standardard of how laboratories detect monoclonal proteins. However, the clinical complexity of Multiple Myeloma is highlighting the need for more sensitive and precise approaches.

Mass spectrometry offers the potential to improve detection, reduce subjectivity, and support more informed clinical decisions.

In our latest blog, we explore how mass spectrometry is shaping the future of Multiple Myeloma diagnostics.

The international guidelines for diagnosing and monitoring monoclonal gammopathies recommend serum free light chain (sFLC) values established with Freelite assays. These values cannot be assumed to apply to FLC assays produced by other manufacturers.

Accurate disease monitoring depends on more than detection alone – it requires reliable quantification.

In our latest clinical case study and podcast, we discuss how conventional methods such as SPE and IFE can struggle to reliably detect and quantify M-proteins when IgA M-proteins co-migrate in the beta region.

In the era of modern therapeutics, is immunofixation still sensitive enough to monitor treatment response in Multiple Myeloma?

Clinical scientists in Spain have led a multicenter study showing that the EXENT® System detects low-level monoclonal protein more frequently and with greater clinical insight than immunofixation in Multiple Myeloma.

The research highlights how more sensitive methods may improve disease monitoring and response evaluation beyond traditional techniques.

This March, we learned, shared, and amplified facts about multiple myeloma, from symptoms and populations at higher risk to health disparities and progress in survival.

Thank you to everyone who helped spread awareness and support the myeloma patient community.

Raising awareness is not a one-month effort. It’s an ongoing commitment. Let’s continue the conversation. Learn more about multiple myeloma and find resources at the International Myeloma Foundation here: http://spr.ly/6189hsjYv
