ebia Electrophoresis is 100% focused on the science of electrophoresis. At least 10% of the annual budget is dedicated to research and development resulting in a continuous stream of new and innovative electrophoresis product introductions. What’s new at Sebia?

New Innovation in Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Instrumentation:

The HYDRASYS® 2 instrument - new innovation for agarose gel electrophoresis testing. The latest addition to our family of electrophoresis products, the HYDRASYS 2 is a self-contained system which carries out all the different phases of the electrophoresis testing including: sample application, migration, incubation, staining, destaining, washing and drying. The system includes a new, colored and back-lit touch screen for easy operations along with optimized application with a new vertical application movement. The HYDRASYS 2 is available in a traditional electrophoresis model, as well as a FOCUSING model with IEF capabilities.

News from the FDA:

MINICAP
Sebia has received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the MINICAP Hemoglobin assay – an aid in the diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies and thalassemias. High-resolution separation and quantitation of normal and abnormal hemoglobins takes place with capillary electrophoresis technology.

CAPILLARYS 2
Sebia has received clearance from the FDA to market the CAPILLARYS Urine kit, which allows for the separation of urine proteins by capillary electrophoresis technology.

HYDRASYS and HYDRASYS 2
Sebia has received FDA clearance to market the HYDRAGEL® A1AT Isofocusing kit designed for the qualitative detection and identification of different phenotypes of A1AT. This marks the first FDA cleared kit for A1AT Phenotyping. Phenotyping results, in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory assays, aid in the diagnosis of A1AT deficiency – the most common genetic cause of liver disease in children. A set of three FDA cleared A1AT Controls are also available.
