Thoughtful throughput and consolidation beyond immunoassays

The future is unpredictable. We help you succeed through continuous access to innovations and to simplify your lab operations with cobas®️ integrated solutions.

Using the same innovative Elecsys® technology and high-quality standardized reagents, your laboratory can achieve consistently accurate results and streamline workflows across all solutions.

To meet the diverse demands of your lab, a variety of tests is essential. Our continuously expanding Serum Work Area assay menu—comprising both heterogeneous immunoassays and clinical chemistry / homogeneous immunoassays—is well positioned to provide innovative solutions across multiple disease states with high medical need. These focus areas include cardiac, oncology, pregnancy care, thyroid, infectious diseases, and companion diagnostic tests.

Combine immunodiagnostics and clinical chemistry in a single serum work area with Roche solutions. Moreover, facilitate consolidation beyond immunoassays by seamlessly integrating with our molecular lab solutions.

Ranging from standalone analyzers to automated and integrated solutions that accommodate low to high volume testing laboratories, compare and choose the right analyzer system for you:

  • With cobas® pro integrated solutions, experience an unprecedented level of simplicity with a scalable and modular solution to achieve your mid to high volume clinical chemistry and immunochemistry testing needs.
  • With cobas® pure integrated solutions, combine clinical chemistry, immunochemistry and ISE testing on a footprint of just 2 square meters, giving access to our broad menu of more than 230 parameters – including many high medical value assays to labs that have to deal with limited space.

Also available:

  • Roche cobas® 8000 modular analyzer series is a scalable module-based serum work area (SWA) solution for a wide range of in vitro diagnostics testing of clinical chemistry and immunochemistry designed for high throughput laboratories.
  • Roche cobas® 4000 analyzer series is a comprehensive SWA solution for clinical chemistry and immunochemistry testing in low volume labs or specialized testing environments, designed with the flexibility to expand operations for busier workloads.
Streamlined simplicity: More tests, less time

Our solutions simplify and streamline workflows to accelerate testing and boost lab efficiency. This ensures fast and predictable delivery of accurate, reliable results to clinicians so patients receive timely and appropriate treatment.

With the combination of a broad and ever-expanding Serum Work Area assay menu and scalable solutions at the forefront of consolidation, integration, and automation, our solutions help labs optimize resources and operations and unlock new opportunities.

Benefits of clinical chemistry and immunoassay solutions from Roche

Ensuring consistent results across cobas® analyzers and labs

Simplify testing with unique cobas® reagent ready-to-use packs that reduce error-prone manual preparation, enabling reliable daily operations and the simple addition of new tests to your test menu.

All cobas® systems use the same standardized reagents in various pack sizes to optimize usage across a range of testing volumes. This helps reduce waste and simplifies purchasing and storage.

Each reagent lot undergoes extensive standardization and quality control before reaching the laboratories. This not only ensures accuracy but also saves time and resources.

Supporting decisions throughout the whole patient journey

The unique Elecsys® technology powers our comprehensive menu of immunoassays. Spanning from initial diagnosis to long-term immunity monitoring, these immunoassays help clinicians make informed decisions throughout the entire diagnostic, treatment, and management journey, ensuring that patients receive the right care at the right time.

Operational efficiency for greater return on investment

Our approach to value extends beyond providing the right tests—we aim to enable laboratories to achieve the highest possible return on investment every day. Our high-performance cobas® assays use low sample volumes, allowing your lab to run multiple tests from a single tube. This ensures that patients receive quick and accurate results without the need for time-consuming and painful blood redraws.

We support our customers by delivering a future-ready portfolio of high-quality diagnostic test solutions that streamline the entire process, from sample loading to the final result. This comprehensive support maximizes operational efficiency and resource utilization.

No matter when you need it

Our relationships with customers go beyond transactional—we foster strategic and collaborative partnerships aimed at improving patients' lives. By listening to our customers and understanding their unique pain points and testing requirements, we work together to optimize lab configurations for cost efficiency, space efficiency, maximum productivity, and enduring medical value.

Whenever your lab needs us, we're available through the navify® portal—24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Roche Service Solutions encompasses our full-service portfolio, offering a personalized mix of products and services tailored to your needs. Our digital services enable quick connections, making your lab more manageable.
