Range of mix and match electrophoresis equipment gives clinical biochemistry, haematology and immunology laboratories the flexibility to introduce automation as the need arises
Sebia's range of mix and match electrophoresis equipment, available from Analytical Technologies, gives clinical biochemistry, haematology and immunology laboratories the flexibility to introduce automation as the need and opportunity arise.
The Hydrasys agarose gel electrophoresis system sequentially processes each step allowing walk-away operation for busy operators.
Newly available for Hydrasys is the facility to detect CSF protein by isoelectric focusing, which provides clearer results more quickly and easily.
The addition of Hydraplus completely automates urine or serum sample preparation and dilution eliminating the risk of contamination, evaporation or human error.
Bar-coded samples and positive identification provide uninterrupted sample tracking from primary tube to sample applicator to gel to final result.
Any electrophoresis result processed by Hydrasys, including immunofixation gels, can be scanned and stored by Phoresis.
Installed on a PC and connected to a flat bed scanner, Phoresis scans up to six gels simultaneously, processing as many as 324 in just four minutes. Images of the electrophoretic migration are automatically converted into an optical density curve which is displayed with the gel pattern to aid interpretation and editing of results. Hyrys 2 Hit densitometer with its multitasking capabilities allows the operator to perform several functions simultaneously. The easy-to-use sophisticated software and data management system allow fast result recall using a number of different demographic parameters.
Capillarys uses liquid flow electrophoresis for separation of proteins by capillary electrophoresis.
This latest technique combines very high throughput with exceptional precision and accuracy.
Designed for continuous feed of samples, the operator simply places a bar coded primary sample tube onto the instrument.
The Capillarys does the rest processing about 100 samples per hour.
As well as increasing throughput, automation brings additional benefits of higher quality results with less opportunity for human error and frees skilled workers for other important operations.
