HYDRAGEL 5 VON WILLEBRAND MULTIMERS
SIMPLIFIED, SAME-DAY RESULTS, VON WILLEBRAND MULTIMERS GEL ASSAY
TEST PRESENTATION
HYDRAGEL von WILLEBRAND MULTIMERS kit is designed for the detection of abnormalities in the VWF multimers distribution related to a hemorrhagic diathesis.
The test allows to assess the overall size distribution of von Willebrand factor multimers in human plasma using agarose gel electrophoresis and immunofixation, with the semi-automated the HYDRASYS 2 instrument.
HYDRAGEL von WILLEBRAND MULTIMERS assay provides within-day results, thanks to its simplified procedure, reduced hands-on time, ready-to-use reagents, and clear and reproducible profiles.
TEST PRINCIPLE
HYDRAGEL von WILLEBRAND MULTIMERS allows separating small, intermediate and large multimers. The assay is carried out in two stages:
- Sample pre-treatment followed by an electrophoresis done in SDS agarose gel to separate proteins according to their molecular weight,
- direct immunofixation of multimers in the gel using anti-human vWF antibody followed by immunoenzyme staining to visualize the different Multimers.
The semi-automated HYDRASYS 2 instrument performs all the steps needed to obtain gels ready for visual and densitometry-based interpretations.
PERFORMANCES
- Same-day results
- Ready-to-use gels and reagents
- Excellent reproducibility
- Reduced hands-on time
- All multimer sizes
- Densitometry helps for results interpretation
- Patient’s profile overlayed with a normal control
