Abstract: The detection and quantification of monoclonal‐proteins (M‐proteins) are necessary for the diagnosis and evaluation of response in plasma cell dyscrasias. Immunoglobulin enrichment‐coupled with matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization time‐of‐flight mass‐spectrometry (MASS‐FIX) is a simple and inexpensive… read more here.
