Compact yet powerful
Complete serum work area testing
Convenience in operation
Confidence in results
One grip handling of reagents
Three ways to unmatched performance
Make STATs part of your routine

Compact yet powerful

  • cobas® 4000 includes the cobas c 311 analyzer for clinical chemistry and cobas e 411 analyzer for immunoassays.
  • The combination of the two analyzers provides true operational integration for small workload laboratories.

Complete serum work area testing

  • cobas® 4000 performs clinical chemistry and immunoassay testing for laboratories processing 80-200 serum samples/day.
  • Its menu of over 150 routine and innovative assays satisfies virtually all of the testing needs for small workload laboratories.
  • A capacity of up to 63 combined onboard tests enables full indication panels for diagnosis and therapy monitoring.

Convenience in operation

  • cobas® reagent packs are always ready to use and highly stable for efficient usage.
  • Common cobas® user interfaces enable users seamless and flexible operation between analyzers.
  • Online updates and remote service access via cobas e-services expedite service and support.

Confidence in results

  • Roche/Hitachi in design and manufacture, cobas® 4000 continues the long tradition of proven reliability.
  • Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technology sets high standards of analytical performance and time to result.

  • All reagents are ready to use and are closed for protection from external elements.
  • Reagent stability of up to 3 months once opened guarantees efficient usage even for esoteric assays.
  • Over 90% of all reagents require calibration only once per lot.
  • Over 70% of all reagents require a sample volume of less than 50 microliters.
  • cobas c pack multi enables development channels for userdefined reagent applications.

Three ways to unmatched performance

As the heart of the cobas e 411 analyzer, ECL technology delivers the unique combination of nine minute STAT applications, high analytical sensitivity and wide measuring ranges for unparalleled performance in immunochemistry.

  • Wide measuring ranges
    reduce the amount of tests rerun due to out of range results
    examples:
    • Estradiol range of 5 - 4,300 pg/mL
    • Progesterone range of 0 - 60 ng/mL
    • total-PSA range of 0 - 100 ng/mL
  • High analytical sensitivity
    enables the use of innovative tests and requires less sample volume
    examples:
    • Troponin T 4th gen. with <10% CV at 95th population percentile
    • hCG+‚ and TSH requires 10 and 50 μL sample volume, respectively
  • Nine minutes STAT applications
    deliver unmatched turnaround time for emergency samples
    hCG+ß, Troponin T 4th Gen., CK-MB, Myoglobin, PTH

Make STATs part of your routine

With cobas® 4000's nine minute STAT applications, you can seamless integrate STAT samples into your routine workload.
These applications include:
- hCG+ß
- Troponin T 4th Gen.
- CK-MB
- Myoglobin
- PTH
Faster turnaround-time for these critical parameters will increase your laboratory's responsiveness to important areas of the hospital such as the Emergency Department and Surgery.
