The CAPI 3 IMMUNOTYPING kit is designed for the qualitative detection and the characterization of monoclonal proteins (immunotyping) in human serum with the CAPILLARYS 3 TERA instrument, SEBIA, for capillary electrophoresis. It is used in conjunction with the CAPI 3 PROTEIN(E) 6 kit, SEBIA, designed for proteins separation into 6 major fractions in alkaline buffer (pH 9.9).

The CAPILLARYS 3 TERA instrument performs all procedural sequences automatically to obtain a protein profile for qualitative analysis. Each serum sample is mixed with individual antisera that are specific against gamma (Ig G), alpha (Ig A) and mu (Ig M) heavy chains, and kappa (free and bound) light chains and lambda (free and bound) light chains, respectively.

The proteins, separated in silica capillaries, are directly detected by their absorbance at 200 nm.

The electrophoregrams are evaluated visually to detect the presence of specific reactions with the suspect monoclonal proteins.

The IT / IF Control is designed to quality control the qualitative detection and characterization of human monoclonal immunoglobulins (Ig G, Ig A, Ig M, Kappa and Lambda) with the electrophoresis methods :

- Immunotyping performed using capillary electrophoresis on SEBIA CAPILLARYS 2, CAPILLARYS 2 FLEX-PIERCING and CAPILLARYS 3 TERA instruments and on SEBIA MINICAP instrument,

- Immunofixation methods : SEBIA HYDRAGEL IF, HYDRAGEL IF Penta, HYDRAGEL BENCE JONES (Standard mask and Dynamic mask) performed using the HYDRASYS and HYDRASYS 2 instruments and the K20 electrophoresis chamber.

The IT / IF Control is designed for laboratory use. It should be used (with its barcode label for CAPILLARYS and MINICAP procedures) like a human serum sample.

The electrophoretic pattern obtained is specific for each batch of IT / IF control.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
