Kappa free light chain analysis will be performed by nephelometry on all cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples. When the free light chain results are greater than 0.0600 mg/dL, then the oligoclonal banding tests will be performed at an additional charge.
Only orderable as part of a profile. For more information see:
