Multiple Myeloma is a type of blood cancer that affects plasma cells, a component of our immune system. This condition leads to the accumulation of cancerous plasma cells in the bone marrow and monoclonal proteins in the blood.

As a result, the production of healthy blood cells is disrupted, leading to an array of complications. Early detection is crucial, and delays in diagnosis can lead to severe comorbidities and reduced survival rates.

A dedicated analyser is the best solution for handling the complex assay protocols required for special protein assays.

Here is how a standalone solution for protein analysis, like the Optilite® Analyser, can help:

✅ Avoid manual dilutions, saving time and reducing analytical errors
✅ Eliminate the need to train staff on exceptions to standard automated procedures
✅ Optimize turnaround times for both special protein and clinical chemistry workflows
✅ Utilize integrated solutions such as peer-to-peer QC software

The Optilite® Analyser delivers an end-to-end solution with minimal bench space required, no extra plumbing, and is easy to implement and learn for your laboratory staff.

Multiple Myeloma often presents with symptoms such as general unwellness, fatigue, and persistent bone pain. These symptoms can overlap with those commonly experienced by the elderly population, who are at a higher risk of developing the disease.

This makes it challenging to recognize the disease. Primary care providers play a crucial part in identifying symptoms early and ordering the necessary tests to ensure a prompt diagnosis.

Monoclonal gammopathies, also called plasma cell dyscrasias, are conditions marked by the clonal expansion of plasma cells and production of monoclonal proteins.

These disorders include malignant blood cancers like Multiple Myeloma and precursor conditions like Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) and Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM).

Understanding these conditions is crucial for early detection and appropriate patient management.
