The CAPI 3 IMMUNOTYPING kit is designed for the qualitative detection and the characterization of monoclonal proteins (immunotyping) in human urine and 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 profile for qualitative analysis. Each urine or 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. For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.

The capillary electrophoresis provides complete automation with fast separation and good resolution. This electrokinetic separation technique is carried out in a silica glass tube (i.e., capillary) with internal diameter lower than 100 um filled with a buffer composed of electrolytes. The CAPILLARYS 3 TERA instrument uses the principle of capillary electrophoresis in free solution. With this technique, charged molecules are separated by their electrophoretic mobility in an alkaline buffer with a specific pH. Separation occurs according to the electrolyte pH and electroosmotic flow. The CAPILLARYS 3 TERA instrument has silica capillaries functioning in parallel allowing 12 simultaneous analyses. In capillary electrophoresis, abnormal fractions detected in serum or urine protein electrophoregrams, primarily those in the beta globulin and gamma globulin zones, are always suspect of being monoclonal proteins (M-proteins, paraproteins, monoclonal immunoglobulins). With the CAPI 3 IMMUNOTYPING procedure, the immunotyping procedure uses specific antibodies to identify these abnormal fractions. In immunotyping a sample dilution is prepared and injected at the anodic end of six capillaries. The reference pattern (ELP pattern), which is a complete electrophoretic pattern of the sample's proteins, is obtained by mixing the sample with the ELP solution and injection into the 1st capillary. The antisera patterns are obtained by sample aspiration into the 5 subsequent capillaries. Previously diluted samples are mixed with specific antisera against gamma (Ig G), alpha (lg A), mu (lg M) heavy chains, and free and bound Kappa and Lambda light chains. Protein separation is performed in a high voltage electrical field. The separated proteins are detected using absorbance at 200 nm at the cathodic end of the capillary. After the analysis, the capillaries are immediately washed with a wash solution and filled with buffer which prepares the capillaries for the next analysis. The immunotyping is performed in four automated steps: 1. Dilution of serum or urine samples with a specific diluent in the pre-dilution well of the reagent cup. This dilution is made according to the sample's immunoglobulin concentration. 2. Mixing diluted serum sample with specific antisera. The antigen - antibody complex is formed rapidly in liquid medium without the need for extra incubation step or removal of the immune complexes. 3. Injection of the prepared samples with simultaneous aspiration into 6 capillaries at the anodic end. Protein separation occurs when a high voltage field is applied to the alkaline buffer. The separated proteins are detected using absorbance at 200 nm at the cathodic end of the capillary. 4. Overlay of the ELP pattern on the antisera patterns (Ig G, Ig A, Ig M, Kappa and Lambda) allows characterization of suspected monoclonal component.

The Interlab IFE kits 2, 4, and 6 samples per gel, are intended to be used with the automated Interlab G26 v1.0 and v2.0 electrophoresis analyzers in conjunction with the Easy Mask antisera application device.

The Immunofixation Electrophoresis (IFE) Test kit is packaged as a 20 (2 samples/ gel), 40 (4 samples/ gel) or 60 (6 samples/ gel) test kits. The kit contains ready-to-use components: 10 gel plates, 2 buffered sponges, acid violet stain (500 mL), washing solution for applicators (80 mL), washing solution 1 for IFE (80 mL), washing solution 2 for IFE (80 mL), IFE diluent (6 or 12 mL), disposable sample trays 26 (10 pcs) or 39 (10 pcs), blotters A (10 pcs), blotters L (10 pcs), blotters G (10 pcs), and 1 CD Package Insert. The following components are required for the test but are not supplied in the test kit: destain solution pack (6x100 mL), fixative solution (1.5 mL) and specific antisera Anti-Human-IgG (1 mL), Anti-Human-IgA (1 mL)), Anti-Human-IgM (1 mL), Anti-Human-Kappa (1 mL) and Anti-Human-Lambda (1 mL). The Automated Interlab G 26 ver. 2 Electrophoresis Analyzer provides automated pipetting of samples from barcode sample tubes in a rack and dilutes the samples into a sample tray for dispensing onto an agarose gel. The protein fraction separation uses the principle of electrophoresis; separation involving electrically charged molecules that orient and migrate at different rates when subjected to an electric field. The migration is performed at a constant temperature, obtained through the use of a Peltier device, on assay specific buffered agarose gel plates. The agarose gel medium provides a support and molecular sieve allowing the different fractions to migrate to points based on individual net charges. After electrophoresis, the gel is heated to "fix" the focalized proteins, followed by assay specific staining, destaining, washing and drying. All methods utilizing a quantitative assessment are immediately processed using the on-board densitometer. The signal obtained for each specimen result is sent to the personal computer and presented using the Elfolab interpretive software. The Interiab G26 instrument is preprogrammed with all necessary firmware to conduct and manage all phases of the analytical procedures used in Interlab manufactured assays. The instrument works in coniunction with a personal computer using Windows® based software featuring pull down menus and intuitive icons for easy instrument control, selection of analytical methods, and data evaluation. Instrument design includes: automated application of the samples on the agarose gel; electrophoretic migration; "heat fixing" proteins to the gel; gel staining/ destaining/ drying, densitometric reading of the gel; and data transmission and processing. The Interlab Easy Mask Antisera Applicator Device is a standalone electronic instrument identical to the peltier contained within the Interlab G26 and is designed to work in conjunction with the Interlab G26. This device allows for accurate and simplified processing of various electrophoretic agarose gel assays that require reagent or antisera overlays. This device allows for easier user processing of the manual steps necessary in antisera type assays (IFE, BJ, Penta) by allowing the user to work unencumbered from mechanical arms and instrument covers. The Easy Mask provides functions identically to the processing steps used in other agarose gel systems that require the user to perform the manual antisera steps directly on the instrument. Through the use of a Peltier and vacuum pump, the temperature across the surface of the gel remains at a precise and controlled temperature, thus improving assay quality and decreasing time. Instrument is designed to receive the Gel Holder from the Interiab G26 Instrument. The Gel Holder is inserted into a template which places the gel in direct contact with the peliter plate assuring uniform and controlled temperature over the entire surface of the gel. Perfect adhesion of the geltier plate is accomplished using a vacuum pump. Assay specific application masks are placed in the frame, which provide precise application of the antisera or reagents during the incubation phase. After the incubation phase is complete, the frame locks over the gel providing a calibrated heated press to blot away un-bound antisera and reagents. When processing is completed on the Easy Mask, the operator places the Gel Holder back in the parking location on the Interlab G26 for the final steps of the analysis.
