About CAPILLARYS 3 TERA MC
The CAPILLARYS 3 TERA MC is a powerful and versatile instrument that consolidates the performance and functionality of three CAPILLARYS 3 TERA instruments into one Workcell.
The ergonomics of the Tube Loader allows for efficient sample loading, with a capacity of up to 528 samples. This high sample loading capacity enables the instrument to operate autonomously for up to 3 hours, conducting up to 600 tests without the need for constant supervision.
Additionally, the user-friendly features such as the LCD Touchscreen interface and Beacon enhance the overall user experience, making operation smooth and intuitive.
Key benefits
Flexible workflow
Scalable High performance solution achieving high throughput and walk-away time.
A single I/O point
Efficiency through CAPILLARYS 3 TERA functionality and ergonomic sample loader.
