Improve multiple myeloma diagnosis investigations by implementing testing panels - St. Elizabeth Healthcare
25 Sept 2025In this case study, Binding Site presents the advantages of integrating testing panels into the diagnostic investigation process for multiple myeloma, drawn from the experiences of St. Elizabeth Healthcare, Edgewood, KY, US.
By implementing a testing panel for myeloma that combines serum free light tests (sFLC) and serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) tests into a single order, St. Elizabeth Healthcare observed significant benefits.

Point-of-CarePoint-of-Care Testing (POCT) or Near Patient Testing (NPT) products are available for urine, blood and other clinical chemistry analyses. POCT includes: blood glucose testing, blood gas and electrolytes analysis, rapid coagulation testing (PT / INR), rapid cardiac markers diagnostics, drugs of abuse screening, urine strips testing, pregnancy testing, fecal occult blood analysis, food pathogens screening, hemoglobin diagnostics, infectious disease testing and cholesterol screening.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Multiple MyelomaImmunoassayImmunoassays are laboratory tests that utilize antibody-antigen interactions to detect specific substances. They are widely used in diagnostics for detecting diseases, drug testing, and environmental monitoring. These assays offer rapid, sensitive, and precise detection of biomarkers, making them invaluable in clinical and research labs.
