About MINICAP FLEX-PIERCING

The MINICAP FLEX-PIERCING instrument provides flexibility for small laboratories. This fully automated system meets laboratory needs while delivering clear and precise separations using capillary electrophoresis technology.

This compact, multi-parameter automated capillary electrophoresis instrument offers a comprehensive testing menu for serum and whole blood, including Protein analysis, Immunotyping, HbA1c, Hemoglobin variants, and CDT (Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin).

Automated traceability through Phoresis software, combined with standardized procedures, supports safe and rapid diagnosis.

For whole blood testing, capped tubes are gently inverted to ensure proper sample mixing, helping to deliver accurate results. The instrument also provides full walk-away automation, reducing hands-on time and overall laboratory workload.

Key Benefits

Automated capillary electrophoresis with MINICAP FLEX-PIERCING reduces hands-on time, improves reproducibility, and delivers faster turnaround. Its high-resolution separations enhance analytical performance, while integrated software ensures traceability and accurate data management. Overall, automation boosts laboratory productivity and efficiency.
  • Compact automated capillary electrophoresis

    The system features full automation, from sample handling to analysis, ensuring high reproducibility and minimal hands-on time. Its compact footprint saves valuable laboratory space, while advanced capillary electrophoresis technology delivers precise and high-resolution separations.

  • Multi-parametric system

    MINICAP FLEX-PIERCING is designed for small to medium-sized laboratories, offering versatility and efficiency in a single platform. It can analyze 5 key parameters across serum and whole blood samples, providing comprehensive testing capabilities.

  • Phoresis User interface

    The system features an ergonomic user interface for intuitive operation. Its integrated software also enables traceable data management, result interpretation, and workflow monitoring, making it an ideal solution for laboratories that prioritize speed, accuracy, and flexibility.
