cobas® pure integrated solutions

Simplicity meets Excellence

Today more than ever, the importance of accurate and timely diagnostics is clearly understood. The journey from blood collection to the final test result, however, requires the highest level of dedication, expertise and diligence of the laboratory staff.

To support you in this, Roche has developed innovative integrated solutions renowned for quality and excellence.

cobas^® pure integrated solutions is the newest member of the cobas^® family of systems which is designed to deliver excellence, while at the same time simplifying your daily work. cobas^® pure combines clinical chemistry, immunochemistry and ISE testing on a compact footprint, giving access to our broad menu of more than 230 parameters – including many unique high medical value assays – to labs who have to deal with limited space.

To simplify daily operation, cobas^® pure comes with new features that minimise the hands-on work for the operators, thus saving precious time.

To ensure simple and effective work for network organizations, cobas^® pure provides fully standardised results and operation to cobas^® pro integrated solutions – Roche’s latest analyser designed for larger labs.

Because simplifying any step of the journey can help deliver a fast and accurate diagnosis.

Empower your physicians to take action faster

Standards are being raised across health systems, as patient and physician satisfaction and fast clinical decision making are becoming more prominent quality metrics. Choosing an analyser that supports short and predictable turnaround times at peak times is a key to meet these standards.

Get answers fast with short and predictable turnaround times.

cobas^® pure integrated solutions is designed to support fast and predictable turnaround times across all assays.

93 % of Roche immunoassays have a reaction time of 18 minutes or less, with STAT assays having just 9 min reaction time.²

To offer full transparency, cobas^® pure integrated solutions allows the operator to see the time to result per sample and per test as well as the time to last result on all ordered tests.

Free up staff time with reduced hands-on maintenance efforts

With cobas^® pure integrated solutions, every effort has been made to reduce hands-on maintenance tasks to a minimum. The new and smart concept of self-operating maintenance executes maintenance tasks automatically in the background and reduces the manual burden of daily maintenance to 5 min.¹

Save time and costs with cobas^® AutoCal

The clinical chemistry module of cobas^® pure integrated solutions comes with a significantly simplified calibration concept - automated calibration. With cobas^® AutoCal, new reagent lots for the majority of clinical chemistry tests are calibrated automatically, without the need for manual calibration. This can lead to 56 % less calibration events, saving up to 105 hours of hands-on time yearly.*³

Ready to use reagents

cobas^® pure uses the latest reagent generation from Roche - cobas e pack green and cobas c pack green. These reagents do not require any preparation, mixing, waiting or pre-opening. The operator can simply take them out of the fridge and load them directly onto the analyzer.

Industry’s leading onboard stability

Using space intelligently is about achieving the highest output within the existing space. The average onboard stability for the immunochemistry reagents is 110 days, with 98 % of the assays having an onboard stability of 4 months. The average on board stability for clinical chemistry is 137 days, with 57 % of the reagents having an onboard stability of 6 months.^5,6

Bring more confidence to your team with reliable results

Unplanned downtime and lack of confidence in results are some of the most stressful things that can happen in the lab. They shift attention to time-consuming, hands-on workarounds or sample reruns which can affect staff morale and motivation.

Additionally, they pose risks to the quality of results and the lab’s reputation. cobas^® pure integrated solutions is designed to deliver distinctive reliability through sound system architecture and confidence in the results through various safety features.

99 % uptime⁷of our existing portfolio of more than 75.000 analytical units globally

Reliable results¹

Disposable AssayTips/AssayCups

cobas^® pure immunochemistry analytical unit utilizes single-use disposable AssayTips and AssayCups to completely eliminate the risk of sample carry over.

Carryover evasion program

The sample probes on the cobas^® pure clinical chemistry analytical unit are rinsed inside and outside with deionized water each time after dispensing a sample. Additionally, for applications that are sensitive to sample carryover, a special wash can be programmed for an extra wash of reagent probes, sample probes and reaction cells with basic and acidic wash solutions.

Ultrasonic Mixing

The cobas^® pure clinical chemistry analytical unit features ultrasonic mixing for non-contact mixing of sample and reagent to eliminate the risk of carryover during this event.

Reliability

cobas^® pure integrated solutions is designed to deliver the reliability that Roche is known for. With more than 75,000 analytical units globally, the cobas family of solutions demonstrates a distinctive uptime* of more than 99 %.⁷Having a reliable analyzer means less interruption of services and less time spent on troubleshooting, thus higher productivity with more predictable turnaround times.

* Uptime: Percentage of the time when system is up and running vs. the time the system is not running due to unplanned incidents. Calculation:
(365 days/Mean time between repair visit) × (Mean time for repair visit + Travel Time)⁷

Enable your team to work more efficiently through standardised solutions

Lab standardisation enables you to do more work on fewer instruments, through consolidation of workflow, systems and reagents. Standardisation also provides efficient and compatible solutions for network cooperation.

Essential benefits of standardisation

Improved speed and accuracy of results

Same reagents and detection technology mean standardised reference ranges which improve the speed and accuracy of results.

Simplified training and staff allocation

Common user interfaces between our cobas^® systems simplify training and allow for flexible staff allocation as healthcare centers are consolidating into larger integrated health networks.
