title: [Determination of free light chains in biological fluids by a latex test].
abstract: A novel latex test for the detection and characterization of free light chains in different biological fluids is presented. Accuracy, reliability and sensitivity of the method are evaluated, by comparing experimental results with reference techniques for light chain detection. The assay is tested for quickness and easiness, in order to be routinely used in laboratories of Clinical Chemistry, Haematology, Nephrology and Radiology.
