Evaluation of the Sebia Minicap Flex Piercing capillary electrophoresis for hemoglobinopathy testing

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) at alkaline pH is one of the techniques used for hemoglobinopathy screening. In this study, an evaluation of the performance of a lower throughput CZE instrument, the Sebia Minicap Flex Piercing system, for this purpose is reported for the first time.
