The HYDRAGEL 3 CSF ISOFOCUSING and HYDRAGEL 9 CSF ISOFOCUSING kits are designed for the qualitative detection of oligoclonal bands in the electrophoretic patterns of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and confirmation of their immunoglobulin character.The use of anti-lgG antisera permits to prove or disprove the "true" IgG character of oligoclonal banding. Visual, comparative interpretation of immunofixation patterns of IgG in high resolution isoelectric separations of CSF and serum proteins from the same patient allows detection of oligoclonal banding that represents intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulins.

The HYDRAGEL 3 CSF ISOFOCUSING and HYDRAGEL 9 CSF ISOFOCUSING kits are indicated when certain diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as multiple sclerosis, are suspected and the detection of oligoclonal banding and inflammatory processes (intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulins) can aid to the diagnosis.

The use of enzyme labeled antibodies increases the sensitivity of detection so that the analysis can be generally performed on unconcentrated CSF.

The only difference between the 3 CSF and 6 CSF kits is in the intended number of samples per gel: 3 and 9 CSF/serum sample pairs, respectively.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
