Product news

Sebia UK Limited will be exhibiting its range of automated electrophoresis equipment on stand B1 at Focus 2007 to be held at Manchester International Convention Centre on 23rd - 26th April.

The fully automated CAPILLARYS 2 has an extensive capillary electrophoresis test menu for faster detection and more accurate monitoring of disease. New innovative tests for urine immunotyping and Bence Jones protein screening have recently been added to the standard serum protein and immunofixation assays. Tests for haemaglobinopathies and Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin (CDT) to detect chronic alcohol abuse have also been introduced.

The semi automated HYDRASYS agarose gel system can now perform isoelectric focusing with new kits for CSF oligoclonal banding and Alpha1 Antitrypsin phenotyping. A High Resolution (HR) immunofixation kit has also been newly released. HydraPLUS, with positive sample ID capability, automates sample preparation, dilution and processing.

HYRYS 2 and PHORESIS provide rapid scanning, editing and storing of gel electrophoresis results with extensive recall facility, report generation and comment entry.

Capillary ElectrophoresisCapillary electrophoresis (CE) is used to separate molecules based on charge, size and hydrophobicity. Pressure, voltage or a vacuum is used to introduce the sample to fused silica capillaries. Fluorescence, UV/Vis, UV or diode array detectors are used to visualize components. Types of CE systems include capillary electrochromatography (CEC), capillary zone electrophoresis and capillary gel electrophoresis.

Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners.

Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.
