AbstractIn 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), percentages of total and normal plasma cells (PCs), and MRD levels using two methods. We found that the tCAN was significantly higher with EuroFlow-NGF than with DuraClone (median 8.6 × 106 vs. 5.7 × 106; p < 0.0001). In addition, a significant correlation in the MRD levels between the two methods was noted (r = 0.92, p < 0.0001). However, in the qualitative analysis, 5.2% (5/96) of the samples showed discrepancies in the MRD levels. In conclusion, the DuraClone is a good option to evaluate MRD in multiple myeloma but it should be used with caution.
