cobas® 5800 system

IVD For in vitro diagnostic use.

Innovation made accessible

The cobas® 5800 system makes automation, consolidation, integration, and standardization more accessible than ever before. Roche's proven molecular concept now comes in a compact size, delivering premium performance and value-added utility from a small footprint.

The cobas 5800 system supports an automated and integrated workflow to run polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based nucleic acid testing (NAT) for use by trained professionals in laboratory settings.1 The cobas 5800 system combines the functionalities of instrumentation, consumables, reagents, and data management to provide an efficient workflow from sample processing to result interpretation.

The cobas 5800 System shares its "DNA" with cobas® 6800 and cobas® 8800 Systems, boasting a common assay menu, reagent concept, and user interface. Improve the productivity of your floor space by running a broad menu of assays from a small footprint, using fully automated and standardized workflows.
