cobas 6800 system
8 hours workaway time*
Transform "walk-away" time into "work-away" time. Minimal and intuitive interactions reduce the potential for human error and free-up technicians for other tasks.
*May vary based on workflow demands.
Contamination prevention
Built in features to ensure the highest quality and integrity of patient results with no daily maintenance
Molecular testing - at any volume - in three easy steps
1. Load reagents & consumables
2. Load samples
3. Empty waste & review results
Unmatched flexibility
Flebible sample loading, processing, and testing
run IVDs and LDTs on a single system with the cobas omni Utility Channel
lets the system do the work while staff performs critical tasks
and 3 tests simultaneously on up to 4 thermocyclers for ultimate testing flebibility
run the tests you want, when you want
an expanded menu supports true test consolidation
supports continuous loading and the highest work-away time
with 90-days stability
the cobas 6800 System does it all for you
The cobas® 6800 System is designed to meet the ever-changing needs of your laboratory and your organization. The broad on-demand assay menu delivers reliable results across a wide range of applications, making test consolidation easy and effective.
