Background: Free light chains (FLC) are useful biomarkers for diagnosis and follow-up of plasma cell disorders. FLC quantification is encumbered by non-linearity and antigen excess (>4-fold difference between results obtained at the 2000- and 100-fold dilution).
Methods: FLC concentration was measured with Freelite® reagents on the BNII, using 100- and 2000-fold dilutions in 3645 samples.

It has been shown that benzethonium chloride produces linear mixed-type inhibition of choline esterase and acetylcholine esterase. These enzymes also show-reagent-carry-over inhibition if the enzyme activities are measured in plastic cuvettes in which previously protein has been determined by the alkaline benzethonium chloride method. Choline esterase is about 10-fold more sensitive to benzethonium chloride than acetylcholine esterase.
