David L. Murray et al.

Summary: Mass spectrometry is emerging as a powerful tool in diagnosing and monitoring plasma cell disorders, showing equivalent clinical performance to immunofixation electrophoresis with added benefits of detecting additional risk factors and differentiating therapeutic antibodies. This technology is gaining traction in clinical laboratories and may become the new standard in practice.
