About MINICAP FLEX-PIERCING The MINICAP FLEX-PIERCING instrument offers flexibility for small size laboratories. The fully automated instrument meets the needs of the laboratory while providing clear-cut and precise separations utilizing capillary electrophoresis technology. This multi-parameter, compact, automated capillary electrophoresis instrument offers a comprehensive menu on serum and whole blood for Protein, Immunotyping, HbA1c, Hemoglobin and CDT (Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin) testing. For whole blood testing, the capped tubes are gently inverted to ensure adequate mixing of the samples providing accurate results. The instrument provides complete walk-away automation reducing overall labor requirements. Key benefits Compact automated capillary electrophoresis Sebia condensed its experience in a compact and fully featured instrument, with the same resolution as its CAPILLARYS instruments. Compact but generous 7 capillary electrophoresis techniques available on this compact platform. Main characteristics Serum Protein Electrophoresis (SPE) Serum Immunotyping Urine Protein Electrophoresis (UPE) Urine Immunotyping Hb A1c (venous blood) Hemoglobin Electrophoresis (adult blood) CDT & CDTIFCC Sample types: whole blood, urine, serum PERFORMANCE This compact bench instrument can process up to 28 samples in one go (26 on HbA1c, Hb and CDT), fully automated and allowing continuous loading.
