About CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA

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

The CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA builds on the capabilities of the CAPILLARYS 2 FLEX-PIERCING, with numerous enhancements, based on the same technology platform as the 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 reagents and consumables as the other CAPILLARYS 3 instruments, allowing labs to adopt the most relevant platforms, mixing CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA, TERA, and TERA MC configurations to align with individualized needs of their organization. This flexibility and modularity also allows the lab to evolve with a scalable 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 combine 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 buffers without interrupting testing.

Advanced piloting Software

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