Analytical Technologies introduce Sebia's upgraded manual electrophoresis system, incorporating the new K20 universal applicator specially designed for use with Hydragel applications
Even low concentrations of paraproteins may be significant so high sensitivity electrophoresis of urine and serum is essential for accurate diagnosis.
The new procedure uses longer application and migration times than standard methods to greatly improve the resolution in the beta and gamma zone; this can be an aid to interpreting certain samples with multiple bands such as oligoclonal patterns.
This new Hydragel kit is part of an expanding range of applications for Hydrasys confirming its position as the leading gel electrophoresis system for clinical laboratories.
A high degree of automation combined with flexible programming makes it the preferred instrument for laboratories with variable workloads.
