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 high volume throughput clinical chemistry modules, cobas c 702 module and cobas c 701 module. Immunochemistry modules include the high throughput immunochemistry module cobas e 801 analytical unit. The modular and scalable design of cobas 8000 modular analyzer series offers more than 130 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.
