RF is often evaluated in patients suspected of having any form of arthritis , even though positive results can be due to other causes and negative results do not rule out disease.
it is faster (results within three hours); it is somewhat more sensitive. Immunofixation may reveal an immunoglobulin missed out by protein electrophoresis, especially at low concentrations (less than 1 gram/litre); it can be partially automated and can be used in more laboratories; it is more easily read and interpreted.
