High capacity pooling and archiving of blood donations
cobas® Synergy software is a data management solution designed to enhance productivity by optimizing workflow and labor. The software is responsible for automating pooling and archiving blood donation test results and blood samples in conjunction with Roche's automated systems. As a complement to the cobas® 5800/6800/8800 Systems, cobas® Synergy offers an end-to-end NAT software that helps blood screening laboratories and plasma donor screening centers achieve optimal throughput, enhanced safety and greater efficiency.
The cobas® Synergy software is intended to be used for the management of data regarding samples to be processed for individual testing and pooling. The software collects data from pooling and analyzer instruments, which allows the operator to review results against individual samples and samples that have been pooled, creating output files from the data that can be sent to a Laboratory Information Management System. cobas® Synergy software is intended for use by testing laboratory personnel who are trained in its operation and are familiar with the associated assays and instruments.
cobas® Synergy creates more pools with fewer instruments resulting in higher throughput and faster release of results
The solution includes built-in safety measures that track each donor sample through every step of the process
No two labs have precisely the same needs. cobas® Synergy provides flexibility to meet the unique demands of each individual laboratory

Pool creation
Pool creation:
Donor samples are pipetted from sample tubes into pool tubes to create the primary pools.
Primary pools:
Direct creation of a pool of samples
Secondary pools:
Created for pool deconstruction in case of a reactive pool result
