BACKGROUND
Since its incorporation 50 years ago, SEBIA has become a global leader in innovative electrophoretic in vitro diagnostic systems and particularly in the field of capillary electrophoresis.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCTS / SERVICES / TECHNOLOGY
Electrophoresis consists in the use of an electrical field to separate the proteins contained in biological samples. The most recent capillary electrophoresis technique is applied in the dedicated automated systems: the CAPILLARYS range (CAPILLARYS 2 Flex Piercing, CAPILLARYS 2 Neonat Fast and Capillarys 3) and MINICAP Flex Piercing.
The HYDRASYS range (ASSIST, HYDRASYS 2 SCAN, HYDRASYS 2 SCAN FOCUSING) utilizes an agarose gel as a support.
The electrophoresis technique is a leading technology in the diagnosis of immune system diseases such as myeloma, hemoglobin abnormalities, HbA1c and the detection of other protein markers.
CUSTOMER REFERENCES / COLLABORATIONS / HIGHLIGHTS
SEBIA’s R&D efforts are delivering results in two fields:
- The development of fully automated high-throughput systems with networking capabilities with the powerful PHORESIS CORE software, plus a full range of diagnostic tests: proteins, lipoproteins, hemoglobin, HbA1c. SEBIA recently introduced the Capillarys 3 program, including several types of complementary instruments (Capillarys 3 TERA and TERA M.C) offering to all kind of laboratories the modularity and flexibility required in today’s global organization of lab work.
