cobas^® 5800 system

IVD

Innovation made accessible

The cobas® 5800 system makes automation, consolidation, integration and standardisation more accessible than ever before. Roche's proven molecular concept now comes in a compact size, delivering premium performance and value-added utility from a small footprint.

The cobas® 5800 system supports an automated and integrated workflow to run polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based nucleic acid testing (NAT) for use by trained professionals in laboratory settings.¹ The cobas® 5800 system combines the functionalities of instrumentation, consumables, reagents and data management to provide an efficient workflow from sample processing to result interpretation.

The cobas® 5800 System shares its 'DNA' with cobas® 6800 and cobas® 8800 Systems, boasting a common assay menu, reagent concept and user interface. Improve the productivity of your floor space by running a broad menu of assays from a small footprint, using fully automated and standardised workflows.
