The Immunofixation Serum Test separates and identifies antibodies in your blood to check for unusual proteins. You may also hear it called serum immunofixation electrophoresis, immunofixation electrophoresis, or IFE serum. You can book at participating labs on LabFinder and pick a time that fits your day.
This test, also called serum immunofixation or immunotyping, looks for specific antibodies called immunoglobulins. It helps your doctor see if there is an abnormal protein pattern that could explain symptoms like anemia, bone pain, repeated infections, or other blood test changes.
Common reasons: follow up after an abnormal protein electrophoresis, check for a monoclonal protein, new or ongoing anemia, high calcium, kidney or liver concerns, nerve pain with unclear cause, frequent infections, or to monitor known plasma cell disorders. Your doctor will decide if this test is right for you.
Check in with your photo ID and lab order. A technician cleans your arm and draws a small tube of blood. A bandage is placed and you can leave. Plan for about 15 to 30 minutes at the lab from arrival to finish.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable.
Food and drink: no special diet for this test unless your doctor says otherwise, but a simple fast may be requested if other blood work is done together. Hydration: drink water so veins are easier to find. Medications and supplements: bring a list and mention any recent antibody infusions or therapies. Comfort: wear sleeves that roll up and arrive a little early. Always follow any instructions from your doctor or the lab and bring prior results if you have them.
Plasma cell disorders such as multiple myeloma or MGUS, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, amyloidosis, chronic inflammation or infection, and some immune system problems. Results are read in context. Your doctor will review your history and symptoms before suggesting next steps.
