Sebia has added the Capillarys 2 Flex Piercing for clinical diagnostic laboratories to its automated capillary electrophoresis portfolio.
Based on the technology of the original Capillarys instrument, the system features cap piercing for analysis of whole blood directly from primary sample tubes.
For haemoglobinopathy testing, the cap-piercing capability streamlines workflow and maximises biohazard safety.
Once primary sample tubes are loaded onto the system, the sample rack is inverted to ensure whole blood samples remain homogeneous and produce accurate results.
Positive sample identification ensures full traceability from primary tube to final result.
In addition to haemoglobin variant analysis, the comprehensive menu includes tests for serum and urine proteins, immunotyping, carbohydrate-deficient transferring, as well as high-resolution immunofixation.
With eight simultaneous migrations and a throughput of 34 haemoglobin samples and 80 protein samples an hour, Capillarys can help biomedical scientists provide fast and precise results.
