Fully automated clinical capillary electrophoresis

VelocityCENext-generation eight-channel capillary electrophoresis

V8 is an eight-channel automated clinical capillary electrophoresis system intended for the preparation, separation and analysis of proteins derived from human samples, such as blood serum, urine and haemoglobin.

Utilising specially designed assays, V8 provides sophisticated diagnostic information for a wide variety of inflammatory conditions and disease states, helping clinicians to monitor and treat patients for effective primary care.

Incorporating the latest technology, V8 is an intelligent analyser with full walk-away automation, multi-assay functionality and rapid reflex testing for fast and continuous diagnosis of multiple disease states. Certified with patented technology, V8 has set new standards in its class.
