Capillarys 3 Tera, offers the enhanced throughput of a 12 capillaries system, lateral access for a tube loader or a workcell configuration, and a platform to process dry blood spot assays. Several Capillarys 3 Tera configurations are offered.

The stand alone instrument can be further upgraded with:

• A high capacity tubes loader (up to 500 tubes).
• A workcell configuration, with up to 3 instruments. Capillarys 3 Tera MC is able to process either very high volumes of the same test, or batches of different tests, providing full walk-away flexibility.
• Another option of Capillarys 3 Tera is the analytical track compatibility, with Capillarys 3 Tera TLA.

The Capillarys 3 program offers a broad assay menu: Proteins, Immunotyping, and HbA1c venous blood (all CE marked).

Coming soon: HbA1c capillary blood, Haemoglobin whole blood, Haemoglobin Neonatal Guthrie, and CDT IFCC.

In the future: Haemoglobin Neonatal cord blood, Haemoglobin Adult Guthrie, Protein HR, Urine, and Urine IT.

Throughput

• Proteins: from 130 tests per hour for Capillarys 3 Tera stand alone to 390 tests per hour with Capillarys 3 Tera MC configuration

• HbA1c: from 70 tests per hour for Capillarys 3 Tera stand alone to 210 tests per hour with Capillarys 3 Tera MC configuration

Walk-away

• Tube capacity: from 120 samples with the onboard loading to 600 samples with the additional tube loader
