Sebia CAPILLARYS 3 HbA1c

Products are for professional/laboratory use only.

Abacus dx offers laboratories the best equilibrium for HbA1c measurement between accuracy, robustness and throughput.

Sebia has adapted high-resolution capillary electrophoresis technology on its CAPILLARYS 3 TERA instrument for an accurate HbA1c measurement at a very high speed.

From whole blood sampling in primary capped tubes to the final result, the CAPILLARYS 3 TERA instrument performs all sequences automatically.

The clear-cut and precise separation of the different haemoglobin fractions allows accurate HbA1c measurement with no altered results in the presence of frequent interferences:

• Labile A1c
• Carbamylated Hb,
• Hb F
• Hb S
• Hb C
• Hb D
• Hb E

As well as the incidental detection of the common haemoglobin disorders (sickle cell, beta-thalassemia, etc.).

Using the IFCC reference method calculation formula HbA1c/(HbA1c+HbA0), developed for the worldwide assay standardization, the Sebia methodology ensures accurate and reliable results.

Test Principle

The CAPI 3 HbA1c assay is based on the principle of capillary electrophoresis in free solution. Haemoglobin fractions are separated in silica capillaries, by their electrophoretic mobility and electroosmotic flow at a high voltage in an alkaline buffer. Haemoglobin fractions are directly detected at an absorbance of 415 nm.
