V8 Serum Proteins
Serum Proteins
V8 Nexus supports high performance, fully-automated serum protein analysis with uniquely powerful interpretation tools.
V8 Serum Protein tests deliver highly resolved and sensitive results for rapid quantitation of serum proteins to aid in the diagnosis of multiple disease states, with automated gel immunofixation and capillary Immunodisplacement workflows.
High throughput analysis
Up to 96 samples analysed per hour for serum and urine proteins and up to 19 Immunodisplacements per hour.
Multiple assays
V8 Nexus supports multiple serum protein tests simultaneously, along with our various CDT and Haemoglobin kits.
Reflex Testing
Re-testing to either Immunodisplacement or gel IFE, with manual or automatic flagging of suspect results.

Gel integration
Automated immunotyping workflow — only with V8 Nexus
V8 Nexus provides the unique ability to prepare sample trays for gel electrophoresis testing and confirmation, with automated dilutions and complete end-to-end patient ID and reagent traceability.
- Serum and Urine Proteins (up to 100 samples)
- Immunofixation (up to 15 serum and urine samples)
- Alkaline and Acid Haemoglobin (up to 40 samples)
- Automated pre-lysis for whole-blood haemoglobin
Immunodisplacement
Powerful capillary-based immunodisplacement test
Helena’s Immunodisplacement test utilises the V8 Nexus on-board antisera capability to perform immunotyping with no manual operator intervention. Because the entire process is completely automated, our Platinum 5 software enables the operator to instantly link, compare and report on the Immunodisplacement data in context with the original Serum Protein result.
- Up to 19 Immunodisplacements per hour
- Instant linking and comparison of all historical patient results
- Fully automated workflow with Helena’s Expert System
Urine proteins
Flexible and automated urine protein analysis
Perform automated integrated urine protein testing using on-board reagents for each of Helena’s serum protein assays. V8 Nexus can also automated the preparation of gel trays for further analysis and confirmation using our SAS-1+ and SAS-3 gel analysers.
Regulatory information
Intended Purpose
V8 Urine Preparation Buffer SP6 Zoom Kit, V8 Urine Preparation Buffer SPE Kit and V8 Urine Preparation Buffer SP6 Kit are accessories used to elute proteins from packed columns or spin columns after their recovery from urine and store those proteins in a pH regulated matrix for downstream analysis by Capillary Electrophoresis. Intended for use by a trained laboratory professional in a clinical laboratory. V8 Urine Preparation Buffer SP6 Zoom Kit, V8 Urine Preparation Buffer SPE Kit and V8 Urine Preparation Buffer SP6 Kit have no clinical or analytical function in isolation.
