About CAPILLARYS 3 TERA

Compared to the previous generation, CAPILLARYS 3 TERA offers the enhanced throughput of a 12 capillary system and can be turned into a MC* configuration, aggregating 1 to 3 CAPILLARYS 3 TERA to a tube loader (528 positions).

The CAPILLARYS 3 TERA offers a broad assay menu in myeloma, diabetes, hemoglobinopathies and chronic alcohol abuse.

The CAPILLARYS 3 TERA shares the same reagents and consumables as the other CAPILLARYS 3 instruments, allowing the lab to adopt the most relevant platforms, mixing CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA, CAPILLARYS 3 TERA and CAPILLARYS 3 TERA MC configurations to match exactly the needs of their organization.

*Maximum Capacity or MC designation refers to Tube Loader CAPILLARYS 3 - P/N: 1249 and Rack Conveyor CAPILLARYS 3 - P/N: 1250 associated with CAPILLARYS 3 TERA - P/N: 1246

Key Benefits

The CAPILLARYS 3 TERA is designed to address the evolving needs of modern laboratories, offering a comprehensive solution with multiple key benefits.
  • Scalable

    CAPILLARYS 3 TERA instruments can evolve into a workcell configuration. Linked to Sebia’s MC loader, 1 to 3 CAPILLARYS 3 TERA will deliver a very high throughput for a single or multiple electrophoresis capillary techniques.

  • Smart reagent management

    4 open positions for main reagents, temperature-controlled section for secondary reagent (antisera), automated reagent identification, change buffer without interrupting the testing.

  • Advanced piloting Software

    Delivered with each Sebia’s instrument, the PHORESIS software allows laboratories to manage the instrument results providing a very flexible solution.
