Sebia has introduced two technologies for newborn screening and adult testing of haemoglobinopathies in clinical diagnostic laboratories.
Sebia offers a range of multipurpose electrophoresis systems and methods.
Capillarys 2 Neonat Fast is offered for dry-spot, cord-blood and packed red cell sampling, while Capillarys 2 Flex Piercing is offered for whole blood/capped tubes haemoglobin, as well as serum and urine testing.
Capillarys 2 Flex Piercing offers a menu for haemoglobins, protein electrophoresis, immunotyping and CDT (carbohydrate-deficient transferrin).
For haemoglobinopathy testing, the cap-piercing capability streamlines workflow with a throughput of 37 Hb samples/hr and maximises biohazard safety.
Once primary sample tubes are loaded onto the system, the sample rack is gently inverted to ensure whole blood samples remain homogeneous and produce accurate results.
Positive sample identification ensures full traceability from primary sample tube to final result.
