Disclosure herein are methods for determining whether or not an immunoglobulin is present above the polyclonal background level in a biological sample, and methods for determining whether an immunoglobulin contains a kappa or lambda light chain. These methods are useful for screening biological samples for the presence or absence of monoclonal gammopathy, and for diagnosing and monitoring monoclonal gammopathy in a subject.
