Immunotyping technique gives a very fast reaction between the antisera and antigen without the necessity for incubation and sedimentation
Sebia Capillarys, available from Analytical Technologies, can now be used for the detection and identification of paraproteins in human serum.
Capillarys performs all sequences automatically by a new immunotyping technique, to characterise the detected bands by qualitative analysis.
Capillarys is already established for automated protein electrophoresis and the new immunotyping technique simplifies the process and improves results.
The serum is automatically diluted and mixed with the five antisera (IgG, IgA, IgM, Kappa and Lambda) and the sixth well used to obtain the reference pattern.
The increased sensitivity of capillary electrophoresis, compared to previous methods, together with the user friendly software and zooming capabilities available on Capillarys, makes for easy interpretation and identification, says Analytical Technologies.
The Capillarys immunotyping technique gives a very fast reaction between the antisera and antigen without the necessity for incubation and sedimentation. With rapid separation in the capillaries and direct detection of proteins at a specific wavelength, a high degree of precision and accuracy is obtained.
Designed to optimise and completely automate routine electrophoresis techniques, Capillarys is a continuous feed capillary system allowing complete walk away automation, from bar coded primary tube to result.
