Welcome to the first issue of Freelite™ InSite, an e-newsletter to help you stay fully aware of the status of serum free light chain testing for diagnosis and monitoring of Multiple Myeloma. Four times a year we will review the latest publications and conferences and include articles aimed at discussing key areas of clinical relevance.
In this first issue you will find an interview with Dr Robert Kyle, discussing how the Mayo Clinic uses the Freelite serum free light chain assay.
I will be very happy to hear from you on what you would like included to help make this an even more valuable source of information for you.
Kind regards
Business Development Manager - Freelite |

A series of 1 day seminars are planned for March 2008 and will be run across the UK. These seminars will be an opportunity to hear about recent advances in the measurement of free light chains and the associated improvements in patient management. Topics will include applications in renal medicine, serum free light chain measurement to replace urine Bence Jones Protein testing, applications for Intact Immunoglobulin Multiple Myeloma patients and for managing MGUS patients. Speakers who have first hand experience of using Freelite results in clinical practice have been invited to speak. Watch for your invitation. |
