Comparison of minimal residual disease detection in multiple myeloma between the DuraClone and EuroFlow methods

In this study, the minimal residual disease (MRD) levels in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) were assessed by comparing the new 8-color single-tube multiparameter flow cytometry method (DuraClone), which reduces the cost of antibodies and labor burden of laboratories, with the EuroFlow next-generation flow (NGF) method. A total of 96 samples derived from 69 patients with MM were assessed to determine the total cell acquisition number (tCAN),...
