Eliminate the need for urine Bence Jones Protein testing

Screening Flyer Two recently published studies indicate clearly that if you replace urine Bence Jones Protein tests with serum assays including Freelite free light chains, during the initial investigation for Multiple Myeloma, all patients requiring medical intervention are identified.

"Urine tests are no longer necessary as part of the screening algorithm for identifying monoclonal gammopathies..."¹

"..no significant pathology would have been missed by replacing BJP with serum FLCs."²

Remove the inconvenience and improve your detection rate

Increase your detection rate by including Freelite in your investigation protocol. Freelite enables sensitive quantification of serum free light chains for diagnosis without the added complications and difficulties of urine collection and testing.²

The superior sensitivity of Freelite allows measurement down to normal levels allowing more accurate detection of Multiple Myeloma, Light Chain Multiple Myeloma, Nonsecretory Multiple Myeloma, AL amyloidosis and some other B cell dyscrasia.³

Reduce the impact of patient compliance

Reports of only 40% patient compliance in producing 24-hour urines have been cited.² Lack of compliance can be due to many factors including renal impairment, embarrassment and inconvenience. Now you can avoid these problems and obtain a sample every time as only a blood sample needs to be collected. Conveniently, you can collect this at the same time as blood is taken for other renal function tests.

Efficiency gains in the clinic:

Just a simple blood collection
No need to chase for urine samples
Improve the turnaround time for a patient result²
Reduce testing costs¹
Use the same reliable test in your initial evaluation that you use in monitoring

Efficiency gains in the laboratory:

No need to chase for urine samples
No requirement for storage of large volume samples
No time consuming concentration of urine
Maximise workflow through automation
Reduce hands-on time and release valuable labour resource
Assay time of less than 20 minutes
Improve the turnaround time for a patient result²
Reduce testing costs¹
Use the same reliable test in your initial evaluation that you use in monitoring
