Integrated Solutions for a More Efficient, Future-Ready Laboratory

Roche Integrated Solutions: Solving Silos

Building an integrated laboratory

The modern laboratory is often a mixture of tools, technologies, equipment and software from a range of providers and manufacturers. This patchwork collection of equipment can create challenges sharing, analysing and understanding data. When technology and data are constrained in silos, lab performance is limited, workflows are disjointed and vital diagnostic results may be delayed. 

Most laboratory systems will never work seamlessly because they weren’t designed together. Roche Integrated Solutions provides fully integrated systems and solutions, expanding the efficiency, scope, and quality of services that labs can offer.

Every lab is unique, which is why Roche Diagnostics offer customers automated, integrated and tailored solutions. Roche Integrated Solutions incorporates the latest laboratory systems and digital solutions alongside integration support to implement and optimise how your lab works. Working together, we can add capacity and new capabilities to your lab, giving you the flexibility, confidence and control to adapt to changing requirements.

Connected laboratory systems

Modern, practical and automated diagnostic testing equipment – in combination with purpose-built software – can expand the efficiency, scope and quality of your services. You can monitor and manage lab performance and increase quality and confidence in research and results. 

Roche is committed to creating technologies that accelerate diagnostics through innovation, creating ground-breaking innovative solutions for the IVD market for over 100 years.

Today, Roche tools and technologies – including the cobas® pro integrated solutions and cobas® pure integrated solutions –  deliver fast and accurate results. Reduced maintenance can free up staff time to focus effort and resources where they add the most value.

Alongside giving labs access to the latest technologies, Roche’s navify® Portal gives laboratories total and transparent control over operational processes, whether at single or multi-site operations. Roche Integrated Solutions enables you to achieve more with the resources you have available.
