cobas 8000 Modular Analyzer Series
Manufacturer: Roche
SKU: KES-CLINICAL-CHEMIST-ROCHE-COBAS-8000 · Model: cobas 8000
Fully automated, highly scalable modular analyzer series for clinical chemistry and immunochemistry.
Product Overview
The Roche cobas 8000 modular analyzer series is an automated analyzer intended for qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative clinical chemistry and immunochemistry assays as well as ion-selective measurements. Per official Roche documentation, the system offers more than 150 scalable configurations built from a core unit and up to four analytical modules (cobas ISE, c 701, c 702, c 502, e 801, e 602), with maximum throughput of up to 9,800 tests per hour per configuration.
Applications
High-volume hospital core laboratories and reference laboratories running clinical chemistry and immunochemistry workloads.
Clinical Benefits
Improved diagnostic accuracy, enhanced patient safety, and reduced operational downtime.
