One-stop solution for HbA1c, lipids, and CRP testing in the Primary Care Setting

The cobas b 101 system is an IVD test system offering HbA1c, lipid panel and CRP tests at the Point of Care. Fresh capillary blood, K2 or K3-EDTA or lithium heparin anticoagulated venous whole blood can be used for HbA1c. Fresh capillary blood, K2 or K3-EDTA anticoagulated whole blood or plasma can be used for lipids (CHOL, TRIGL, HDL-CHOL) . Fresh capillary blood or serum, K2 or K3-EDTA or lithium heparin anticoagulated whole blood or plasma can be used for CRP. The system delivers fast and reliable results and is intended for professional use in a clinical laboratory or at Point of Care locations.

Lipid disc

Direct sample application (no capillaries, tubes or pipettes are needed) and requires only 19 μL blood volume for lipids test

HbA1c disc

Direct sample application (no capillaries, tubes or pipettes are needed) and requires only 2 μL blood volume for HbA1c test

CRP disc

Direct sample application (no capillaries, tubes or pipettes are needed) and requires only 12 μL blood volume for CRP test

cobas b 101 system complies with all relevant standards and methods (IFCC, DCCT/NGSP)1
