Test Name Protein Electrophoresis, Random Urine
Specimen Type / Requirements Container Type = Small orange cap container Minimum Testing Volume = 3 mL urine
Specimen Handling Collection Instructions: Collect Random Urine in a small sterile orange cap container. Indicate date and time of Collection. · Includes free kappa and free lambda quantitation. ·24h urine collection preferred. ·Testing will not be done if urine protein is less than 0.03 g/L. Laboratory Staff Instructions: Create an aliquot from the sample and Centrifuge before placing on automation line using the bypass rack. Sample Rejection Criteria: Unlabeled or leaking specimen will be rejected Stability: Stable refrigerated for 14 days at 2-8°C. Transportation: Send sample to core lab ASAP
Required Documentation
Turnaround Time (TAT) 7 days	Reference Value Negative
Test Utilization NOTE: There is limited utility in repeating serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP), urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP, or serum free light chains in short interval. If these tests have been completed in the last 20 days they will not be processed. Please contact the core lab x5082 if you have an exceptional circumstance that warrants repeat testing.
