Description	Free monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains (FLC) quantification is recommended for diagnosis assessment and monitoring therapy for patients with monoclonal gammopathy. But there are numerous uncertainties regarding the detection, interpretation and FLC quantification. Our interlaboratory study showed that kappa/lambda ratio is strongly influenced by measurement errors and therefore we recommended the preferential use of FLC concentration values. Unified protocols are needed to minimise interlaboratory variability introduced by manual dilution or volume augmentation of clinical sample.
