Test Number 123026
Test number copied
CPT 84155; 84165
Synonyms
  • Interpretation, Protein Electrophoresis With Reflex to IFE, Serum

Test Details

Methodology

Electrophoresis followed by immunodiffusion against monospecific antisera to immunoglobulin and individual heavy and light chains (IFE); protein electrophoresis on agarose media; turbidimetric quantitation of IgA, IgG, IgM

Result Turnaround Time

4 - 5 days

Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
