Real-Time PCR testing for molecular diagnostics

Introducing the PCR Ecosystem from Roche - helping leading molecular testing labs to streamline molecular testing, push boundaries through innovation, and partner with a trusted leader in molecular diagnostics across a wide variety of labs and testing settings.  With the PCR Ecosystem, labs can streamline molecular testing through sample-to-answer automation for high efficiency, high throughput molecular testing.  Labs can also push the boundaries of innovation by bridging from research to clinical diagnostics, to donor screening with a combination of open and high throughput platforms, and this is all possible from a highly trusted partner in molecular testing - Roche Diagnostics.

The PCR Ecosystem from Roche is a comprehensive portfolio of solutions across 4 main pillars:

1. The Molecular Work Area for high volume, fully automated clinical diagnostics and donor screening
2. Open Molecular Solutions for bridging the gap between research and clinical diagnostics
3. The cobas® eplex system for urgent syndromic panel testing
4. The cobas® liat system for PCR at the point of care.

At the heart of the PCR Ecosystem lies the Molecular Work Area from Roche. Designed for high-volume, high-throughput labs that require maximum efficiency, the Molecular Work Area offers a range of benefits. Experience absolute automation, eliminating manual steps to reduce hands-on time and errors while enabling your staff to focus on higher-value tasks. Achieve true consolidation by streamlining processes and consolidating multiple sample types and tests onto one system. Benefit from proven integration, transforming your lab into the lab of the future by seamlessly integrating industry-leading instruments into a single solution. Enjoy unrivaled standardization with a common interface, shared reagent concept, and uniform solution configurations, increasing efficiency and predictability.

Roche's Open Molecular Solutions include the renowned LightCycler® series of instruments for PCR amplification and detection and the MagNA Pure Systems for nucleic acid purification. These systems, along with their associated reagents and assays, offer molecular testing labs the flexibility, agility, and customization needed to power research in areas such as oncology and infectious diseases. Our recent integration of TIB Molbiol, a developer of oligos and assays, enhances our content engine for Open Molecular Solutions, driving innovation faster than ever before.

When urgent answers to complex questions are required, the cobas® eplex system from Roche is the solution. Leveraging gold standard PCR technology, the cobas® eplex system allows for quick and efficient testing of patients for an entire panel of targets. For instance, the respiratory panel can test a single patient sample for up to 20 different respiratory infections, enabling the care team to make critical decisions promptly.

The cobas® liat system provides gold standard quality PCR test results at the point of care for doctors' offices, clinics, and hospitals. This compact system automates all steps of PCR testing, from purification to amplification and detection, delivering PCR accurate results in about 20 minutes or less. With enhanced connectivity, test results can be seamlessly transferred into the patient chart, ensuring efficient data management.
