Studies* have confirmed that for all Roche molecular assays and platforms, 'a result is a result'.1-3 Enjoy a seamless and fast transition to cobas® 6800/8800 Systems and bring unrivalled efficiency to your lab and your customers.


*Studies were implemented under real world conditions outside of Roche laboratories, at 8 collaborative sites worldwide, including Europe, Africa and Australia, confirming high precision, accuracy and traceability of results according to WHO standards for all Roche platforms and assays: High Pure System, COBAS® TaqMan® 48 Analyzer, COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® System, cobas® 4800/6800/8800 Systems. 

Absolute automation increases efficiency and productivity

Improve operations with cobas® 6800/8800 Systems and achieve fast time to results with the highest throughput and the longest work-away time—up to eight hours with cobas® 6800 System and up to four hours with cobas® 8800 System.** Automation gives you the freedom of only 2 manual interactions: load samples and reagents, then empty waste and release results.

  • Ready-to-use reagents require no thawing, mixing or pouring
  • Full sample traceability via radio-frequency identification (RFID) and barcodes
  • Intuitive interactions and low hands-on time minimise human error

**May vary based on workflow demands.

 

The conversion to the cobas® 8800 Systems could not have come at a better time with our difficulty in maintaining our staffing levels... we’re not sure how we managed before.

Unmatched flexibility helps meet your changing demands

The Molecular Work Area is designed to meet your specific laboratory needs, today and in the future. The broad assay menu of the cobas® 6800/8800 Systems makes consolidating testing easier than ever before.

  • Perform up to three tests in the same run with no pre-sorting required
  • Process up to three different tests from a single patient sample
  • Handle urgent samples quickly and easily with a dedicated priority lane
Molecular Work Areas broad assay menu

Expand the broad testing menu with the cobas omni Utility Channel. Adding other assays to this open channel brings the overall workflow efficiencies of IVD tests to other test types, further elevating the value your lab delivers.

Complete connectivity is only available from Roche

Physically connect pre-analytical instruments using the cobas® connection module (CCM) to bring unrivaled efficiency into your daily work.

Our data connectivity solutioncobas® infinity laboratory solution, links all systems in your laboratory. Full traceability and transparency provide you with real-time insights into your workflows and processes.
 

The cobas® 6800/8800 System is completely autonomous, easy to operate, fast, safe and sensitive.
