Recommended For:
Multiple myeloma work-up, chronic liver disease, multiple sclerosis, protein deficiency diagnosis.

Special Notes:
No special preparation is necessary prior to blood sample collection.

Tests Included:
Protein Electrophoresis, Serum – 747
Graph with relative percentages and quantitation of
