Enhanced resolution of all haemoglobin fractions with an excellent separation of variants provides accurate and precise quantification of HbA2 and HbF is claimed
Sebia's new haemoglobin kit for Capillarys 2 is designed for the easy separation of normal haemoglobins and the detection of common variants by capillary electrophoresis.
Analytical Technologies says the powerful user-friendly software of Capillarys 2 aids both interpretation and management of results, which can be transferred within and between laboratories via a networked database.
Superimposing stored reference curves facilitates variant identification, even of closely migrating haemoglobins S and D for example, and the automatic delimiting of curves and fraction identification minimises operator editing.
Capillarys 2 performs direct analysis of unwashed red blood cells (RBCs) from centrifuged or settled primary samples.
The fully automatic operation, including red cell haemolysate preparation, provides a throughput of 34 samples per hour, full reagent traceability and a comprehensive quality control programme.
The excellent correlation of results with HPLC allows easy method conversion and the distinct separation and clear focalisation of haemoglobins and variants.
