About
The Sebia systems use the principle of capillary electrophoresis (CE) in free solution.
Charged molecules are separated by their electrophoretic mobility at a specific pH in an alkaline buffer.
Separation occurs according to the electrolyte pH and electroosmotic flow. CE has a steady flow, compared to the pumped parabolic flow of the High-Performance Liquid Chromatography technique (HPLC). The steady flow results in narrower peaks and better resolution.
The Sebia capillary electrophoresis instruments are equipped with several parallel capillaries enabling multiple simultaneous analyses and scalable throughput:

Effects of hemoglobin C, D, E and S traits on measurements of hemoglobin A1c by twelve methods
Hemoglobin C, D Punjab, E or S trait can interfere with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) results depending on the method of analysis used. Therefore, it is important to know the limitations of the method used for HbA1c determination.
The impact of red blood cell lifespan on HbA1c measurement
This article reminds the reader of the importance of detecting the Hb variants when measuring HbA1c for the labs and clinicians to better interpret the results and to ensure optimal management of the diabetic patient.
