Enhanced Workflow efficiency
The cobas® 4800 System brings flexible sample loading to your fingertips for sexual health microbiology, oncology, and genomics testing. Handling multiple types of primary and secondary vials in the same run, laboratories can improve turnaround time and control costs while eliminating errors and providing reliable, standardized results.
Ready-to-use reagents, optimized run times and simultaneous testing leads to significant time savings and increased efficiency.
cobas® 4800 system assay menu
Run up to three assays — simultaneously
Combine select microbiology tests in a single run for efficiency and timely testing of patients with co-infections.
Combine:
- MRSA, Cdiff, and HSV -1/2
No batching or pre-sorting is required.
Instilling confidence in every result
Built-in safeguards to guarantee dependable and reproducible results:
- CO-RE Tip technology to minimize aerosol production
- Anti-Droplet Control to prevent droplet formation with pressure monitoring
- Total Aspirate and Dispense Monitoring to control aspiration and liquid dispensing and detect foamy samples or clots
- AmpErase enzyme to prevent carryover contamination

CO-RE tip technology
Actively locks pipette tips in place with an expanding O-ring. When the tip is released, the O-ring gently decompresses, avoiding projection of aerosols that could create cross-contamination.
