It is an easy-to-use kit and very good results are obtained, much easier to do than with the other techniques we had.

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 immuno-enzyme 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.
