The cobas 8000 modular analyzer series is a scalable, modular based clinical chemistry and immunochemistry serum work area solution for high throughput laboratories. The system consists of a core unit, an ISE module and up to 4 analytical modules.

Core unit

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 prioritization of emergency samples and allows for a bidirectional connectivity to pre-analytics.

ISE module

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.

Analytical modules

One configuration of the cobas 8000 modular analyzer 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 analyzer series offers more than 440 configurations with many choices to tailor solutions to individual laboratory needs, now and in the future.

Module sample buffer

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 analyzer.

Immunochemistry modules

The cobas 8000 modular analyzer series offers two immunochemistry modules designed to address different throughput and workflow laboratory needs.

cobas 8000 analyzer series clinical chemistry modules

cobas e 801 module

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 analyzer series

Heterogeneous immunoassays
Throughput of up to 300 tests/hour
48 reagent positions
Continuous reagent cassette loading/unloading during operation
Carryover-free disposable tips
Clot and air bubble detection

Clinical chemistry modules

The cobas 8000 modular analyzer series offers three clinical chemistry modules and two ISE modules designed to address different throughput and workflow laboratory needs.

cobas c 701 module

The cobas c 701 module is a high throughput clinical chemistry module that performs photometric assay tests for a wide range of analytes. This module has the same functionality and throughput as cobas c 702 module but it doesn’t feature the reagent manager. With a throughput of up to 2000 tests/hour the cobas c 701 module has the capacity to handle heavy workloads and ensure efficiency in your lab.

Clinical chemistry, homogeneous immunoassays
Throughput of up to 2,000 tests/hour
70 reagent positions
Manual reagent cassette loading/unloading during standby
Specimen integrity via serum indices, clot and liquid level detection
Contact-free ultrasonic mixing
2 sample probes
4 reagent probes
Pipetting cycle time of 1.8 seconds

cobas c 702 module

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.

Clinical chemistry, homogeneous immunoassays
Throughput of up to 2,000 tests/hour
70 reagent positions
Continuous reagent cassette loading/unloading during operation
Automatic reagent cassette decapping
