Automated capillary electrophoresis for high-capacity clinical labs

The CAPILLARYS 3 TERA MC from Sebia is a fully automated system that offers efficiency and flexibility in handling various tests, including detection of multiple myeloma, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), carbohydrate deficient transferrin (CDT), and hemaglobin disorders. Global Product Manager, Nasdine Zennaf explains how the system automates sample handling and testing, reducing manual steps and allowing users to focus on higher-value tasks.

CAPILLARYS™ 2

Sebia (UK) Limited

Fully Automated Capillary Electrophoresis System Sebia's innovative capillary electrophoresis system is designed to optimize and completely automate electrophoresis testing. The CAPILLARYS 2 utilizes liquid flow electrophoresis for applications in the clinical diagnostic setting. Continuous sample feed and the use of eight very narrow capillary tubes functioning concurrently provide a high throughput of up to 80 Protein samples per hour. The direct detection of proteins at a precise wavelength, which is assay dependent, improves accuracy and linearity and eliminates the need for staining. A patented, protected capillary horseshoe design provides for: Tight temperature control during sample migration, generating consistent reproducible results from analysis–to–analysis and from capillary–to–capillary. Extended capillary life of greater than 3,000 samples per capillary — or greater than 24,000 samples per test system. Sebia's capillary electrophoresis instrument provides complete walk-away automation from bar-coded primary sample tube to final result - positive sample ID.

Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.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.
