Fully Automated Capillary Electrophoresis System (AutoCE-3000)
The global biopharmaceutical industry is undergoing a structural transformation: multi-pipeline parallel development has become the norm, with a continuous stream of novel therapeutics such as mAbs, bispecific antibodies, ADCs, AAVs, and mRNA drugs. Driven by the stringent requirements of ICH Q14 method lifecycle management and FDA/EMA regulations on data integrity and traceability, laboratories are in urgent need of higher levels of automation and compliance tools to replace the pain points commonly found in traditional manual and semi-automated electrophoresis workflows, including difficult method transfer, insufficient throughput, large inter-batch variability, high manual dependency, and numerous audit trail gaps.
Against this backdrop, a fully automated CE system represents far more than just an efficiency boost—it is a complete reengineering of systematic methodology. Centered on intelligent, modular, and compliance-focused core design, it redefines the electrophoresis workflow from R&D to release.

-
Predictive Maintenance:
Provides real-time monitoring of critical component lifespans with proactive alerts, reducing scheduled downtime and improving laboratory utilization rates.
System Advantages
◆ Dual-Pressure System
Stability
The dual-pressure system ensures the electrophoresis process remains balanced and stable by simultaneously controlling the pneumatic pressure at both ends of the capillary. This effectively prevents peak drift and pressure fluctuations, guaranteeing consistent and reliable results. Automatic degassing and port cleaning functions reduce clogging and maintenance frequency, significantly extending capillary lifespan. Coupled with intelligent buffer switching, it achieves smooth automated operation, maintaining the system in an efficient, precise, and stable state.
◆ Liquid-Cooled Temperature Control
Thermal Control
Achieves efficient heat exchange through circulating coolant, providing uniform temperature distribution and faster response times. Compared to air cooling, it significantly enhances separation stability and reduces thermal drift.
◆ Optimized Capillary Cartridge
Efficiency
The distance from the capillary outlet to the detection window is approximately 7.5 cm. A longer effective capillary length significantly enhances analytical efficiency in most small molecule and protein separations.
◆ High-Voltage Power Supply
Safety
Equipped with a self-locking function, the high-voltage power supply automatically shuts down in the event of leakage, discharge, or sudden high-current and high-voltage hazards.
◆ Maintenance Optimization
Serviceability
The observation window allows for direct monitoring of the coolant level, and the refilling process is convenient and fast.
