Take your lab's performance to the peak
In the lab, every minute counts – for you and your team, for the physician and the healthcare institution, for the patient and their family. Any inefficiencies and unexpected interruptions result in delays which are costly. This is why the cobas® 8000 modular analyser series is designed to help you:
Growth brings opportunities but also challenges. While working to expand testing services and increase revenue you may ask yourself: how can you handle the higher volumes in the most cost- and space-efficient way? The cobas® 8000 modular analyser series is designed to deliver true productivity for your lab and enable you to:
With increasing pressure to deliver from many different angles, keeping your team engaged and focused on the tasks that really matter is difficult but of paramount importance for your lab’s success. cobas® 8000 modular analyser series is designed to eliminate hurdles that can cause unnecessary stress by helping you to:
Choosing the right solution and vendor to partner with is not a small undertaking – it is a choice that impacts your lab’s ability to fulfill performance and quality standards but also your ability to remain competitive. At Roche, we believe in the power of innovation to advance and improve diagnostics possibilities and accessibility – for a better future of the patients and your lab. This is why we are committed to:
Roche is celebrating an important milestone - 5000 installations of the cobas® 8000 modular analyser series.

The core unit is always on the left side of the instrument and it is the loading and unloading point for samples, achieving a throughput of up to 1000 samples/hour. It features a dedicated STAT port for easy prioritisation of emergency samples and allows for a bidirectional connectivity to pre-analytics.
The cobas® ISE module measures the concentration of sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and chloride (Cl-). It is available in two configurations with identical footprint but different throughout: 900 or 1,800 tests/hour.
One configuration of the cobas® 8000 modular analyser series can consist of one up to four analytical modules. Clinical chemistry modules include a high volume throughput clinical chemistry module (cobas c 702 module, cobas c 701 module), a mid-volume throughput clinical chemistry module (cobas c 502 module). Immunochemistry modules include the high throughput immunochemistry module (cobas e 801 module) and a mid-volume throughput immunochemistry module (cobas e 602 module). The modular and scalable design of cobas® 8000 modular analyser series offers more than 440 configurations with many choices to tailor solutions to individual laboratory needs, now and in the future.
A Module sample buffer (MSB) is attached to the left of each cobas c module and of each cobas e module. The MSBs serve as a buffering rack and can deliver sample racks to any module at any time. The MSBs allow for efficient sample transport and management across the analyser.
The cobas e 801 module is a high throughput immunochemistry module that performs a broad range of heterogeneous immunoassay tests using the highly innovative and patented ElectroChemiLuminescence (ECL) technology. cobas e 801 is the latest addition to the cobas® 8000 modular analyser series
The cobas c 702 module is a high throughput clinical chemistry module that performs photometric assay tests for a wide range of analytes. It is equipped with a reagent manager, which allows for automatic reagent cassette decapping and loading/unloading during operation. With a throughput of up to 2000 tests/hour the cobas c 702 module has the capacity to handle heavy workloads and ensure efficiency in your lab.
