The cobas® Liat® System fully automates the PCR process, allowing the rapid accurate analysis of single samples.
The small benchtop analyzer is safeguarded by an extensive array of instrument control measures, and automates all nucleic acid testing processes.
Each cobas® Liat® assay tube contains a set of chemical reagents for amplification and detection of DNA or RNA sequences which are unique to a particular pathogen.
Deliver standardized, mobilized testing for the best possible patient experience. The cobas® Liat® System generates high-quality polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results in turnaround times of 20 minutes* or less across a growing menu of assays. Using cobas® infinity POC solution, the solution can connect all devices within your POC environment, giving you centralized oversight and control to streamline the delivery of care.
This powerful combination - only available from the leader in molecular diagnostics - forms the total point-of-care PCR solution, ideal for confident triage and patient management in emergency rooms, primary care settings and satellite testing locations.
The cobas® Liat® PCR System delivers definitive results through easy and intuitive user handling, bringing you from sample preparation to results with no operator interpretation required.
Add your patient sample to the assay tube with provided transfer pipette.
Place the assay tube under the built-in barcode reader.
Insert the assay tube into the cobas® Liat® Analyzer.
The cobas® Liat® System is a fully closed system which reduces the risk of cross contamination while preserving sample integrity.
Secured login with individual access codes for data privacy
Prepackaged internal control in every assay and automated reagent lot recognition
Comprehensive error diagnostic system
Monitors input to ensure enough sample is used
Automatic analysis, interpretation, and results reporting with no operator intervention
Ensures the right patient is associated with the right sample ID when analysers are connected to the institution’s information system
The cobas® Liat® System is powered by a versatile communication engine to securely transmit data across your health network, supported by the most common standardized protocols for lab information systems (LIS) and data management systems (DMS) or middleware.
Communicate results, manage users and fully integrate all devices by connecting the cobas® Liat® System to a modularized point-of-care management software solution for the future - cobas® infinity POC solution.
This solution has been designed centered around the user to:
The unique combination of cobas® infinity POC, together with the cobas® Liat® System and its growing menu of assays, forms the revolutionary total point-of-care PCR solution.
* Turnaround times vary by assay.
