About CAPILLARYS 3 DBS
Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) is a well‑established technology for screening hemoglobin disorders and is recognized for delivering high‑quality, reliable results.
Sebia’s CAPILLARYS 3 DBS represents the latest generation of instruments dedicated to newborn hemoglobin screening, providing a streamlined workflow and outstanding analytical performance.
The CAPILLARYS 3 DBS is a fully automated Capillary Electrophoresis instrument that uses 12 parallel capillaries to perform multiple hands‑free electrophoretic separations simultaneously at high throughput.
The CAPILLARYS 3 DBS allows direct analysis of samples from microplate wells and delivers fully automated electrophoretic separation—from dried blood spots on filter paper (Guthrie cards) through the final electrophoretic profile. The system manages the entire workflow, including sample identification, dilution, incubation, capillary washing, sample injection into capillaries, migration, protein detection, results processing, and data transfer to the computer interface.
This instrument offers a compelling alternative to commonly used technologies such as IEF (IsoElectric Focusing) and HPLC for laboratories involved in newborn hemoglobin screening. It combines full sample traceability, high‑quality analytical results, and high throughput, while significantly reducing hands‑on time.
Key Benefits
The CAPILLARYS 3 DBS instrument is designed to address the evolving needs of modern laboratories, offering a comprehensive solution with valuable benefits.
High Autonomy
Up to eight full 96‑well microplates can be processed in a single run without requiring any reagent refill. This substantially reduces hands‑on time and allows laboratory staff to focus on higher‑priority tasks.
Automatic Reagent Control
RFID tags on all reagents and on the embedded Hb AF Control enable smooth, efficient reagent management and reduce the need for user intervention.
Full Traceability
End-to-end traceability is maintained from sample punch to final result, eliminating manual transcription steps and reducing the risk of sample identification errors.
