cobas^® 8100 automated workflow series

At an early pre-analytical stage, Roche automation solutions perform an extensive inspection of samples for maximum workflow efficiency:

• Sample quality check via a high-resolution optical camera, which enables the detection of normal, haemolytic, lipaemia and icteric samples.
• Tube type identification
• Laser liquid level detection

Personalised workflows let you choose from primary, aliquot, or mixed options — with easy on-site expansion as your needs evolve.

• Primary sample workflow — optimised for cost efficiency
• Aliquot workflow — for sample integrity and parallel testing
• Mixed workflow — optimised to gain the benefits of both workflows

• 3D intelligent tube transport helps laboratories improve patient care by offering reliable results within predictably short turnaround times, even during peak workflows.
• Multi-level and bidirectional tube transport: empty tube holders and holders with tubes run separately to avoid traffic jams.
• Tubes always have a clear destination and do not circle the track, guaranteeing first-in, first-out sample processing.
• Tubes can bypass modules if processing is not required
• Prioritised STAT workflow

A solution with cobas 8100 offers 3 storage concepts, ensuring fast access as soon as a tube is needed.

• Short-term storage for an immediate re-run.
• Mid-term storage in the add-on buffer module for optimised add-on request processing within the same day.
• Long-term storage.

• Broad reagent portfolio to consolidate 98% or more of the routine serum work area load
• Designed to consolidate immuno and clinical chemistry, haematology, coagulation, selective third-party analysers and archiving.
• cobas 8100 fully automates the laboratory process from sample entry to archive.
• Integrated post-analytic solutions with an add-on buffer module for add-on requests within one day.
