Test Info
Protein Total and Protein Electrophoresis with Immunofixation (IFE) Serum - Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) is an analytical technique that provides separation of serum protein into six fractions: Albumin Alpha-1 Alpha-2 Beta-1 Beta-2 and Gamma. Interpretation of elevation decreased or visual change in different fractions can be used as a diagnostic aid for a variety of different disease states and protein abnormalities including monoclonal gammopathies (MG).
