Medical technologists who perform serum protein electrophoresis can provide valuable input and assistance in the interpretation of the electrophoretic pattern. Recognition of common alterations in conjunction with the utilization of standardized interpretation comments expedites the final interpretation performed by the clinical pathologist. Improved understanding of the clinical utility of the electrophoretic interpretation enhances the role and satisfaction of the medical technologists. © 2020 by the Association of Clinical Scientists, Inc.
