About CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA

The CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA is the most recent Sebia automated capillary electrophoresis system.

The CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA has the great heritage of CAPILLARYS 2 FLEX-PIERCING, with countless enhancements, based on the same technology as CAPILLARYS 3 TERA.

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

The CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA shares the same reagent and consumables as the other CAPILLARYS 3 instruments, allowing the lab to adopt the most relevant platforms, mixing CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA, TERA and TERA MC configurations to match exactly the needs of their organization. This flexibility also allows the lab to evolve easily by scaling up the Sebia solution.

Key benefits

Flexible platform

CAPILLARYS 3 can run up to 7 techniques, automated technique changes are enabled via pre-set switch racks, which allows users to load up to 120 samples with diverse tests simultaneously.

Scalable solution

Sharing the same technical platform and reagent line, laboratories can mix the different CAPILLARYS 3 platforms to meet their individual needs in production capacity, in addition to the large automated capillary electrophoresis menu.

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 laboratory to manage the instrument results providing a very flexible solution.
