The cobas® 8000 modular analyzer series
Because demanding jobs require intelligent and powerful solutions

The cobas 8000 modular analyzer series is the newest member of the Roche cobas modular platform family. The new serum work area (SWA) solution is designed for high workload laboratories and can cover a throughput range of 3 -15 million tests/year .

One cobas 8000 modular analyzer series configuration consists of up to 4 analytical modules and is built with a core unit, an optional ISE unit (cobas ISE module), a high throughput clinical chemistry module (cobas c 701 module), a mid volume throughput clinical chemistry module (cobas c 502 module) and the immunoassay module (cobas e 602 module). An advanced clinical chemistry module (cobas c 702 module ) is already in development.

Combinations of those modules offer more than 38 configurations with many choices to tailor solutions to individual laboratory needs.

With a peak throughput of 8,400 tests per hour and a total of 270 reagent channels on board, the cobas 8000 modular analyzer series significantly improves sample turn around time and efficiently manages peak demands. On-site expandability allows for efficient change management.

Many innovative design elements, such as intelligent sample routing with fast transportation and return lines, independent processing lines within each module, the Module Sample Buffer (MSB) in each module, the tailor-made and harmonized reagent cassette concept and many more, are further contributions to added value in the high workload laboratory.
