About CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA

The CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA is a multiparametric automated electrophoresis system engineered to deliver the operational efficiency our customers need.

This system delivers high performance with high throughput and extended sample and reagent autonomy. This ergonomic, multiparametric system is packed with automated features that simplify workflows and optimize both human and material resources. Its adaptable and evolutive design ensures seamless integration into diverse laboratory environments, meeting specific operational needs while maximizing efficiency and flexibility.

The CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA offers a broad assay menu in Myeloma, Diabetes, Hemoglobinopathies and Chronic Alcohol Abuse.

Key Benefits

The CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA is designed to address the evolving needs of modern laboratories, offering a comprehensive solution with multiple 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 mix the 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 buffer without interrupting the testing.

  • Advanced piloting Software

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