About This Test
This assay is useful for diagnosing & monitoring patients with Monoclonal gammopathies. Protein electrophoresis alone is not considered an adequate screening test for Monoclonal gammopathies.

Urine immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) is a sensitive test used to detect abnormal proteins (monoclonal immunoglobulins or light chains) in the urine, often called Bence-Jones proteins. It is commonly performed over a 24-hour urine collection to improve accuracy and detect small amounts of protein.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
