cobas® 6500 urine analyser series

One tube, one touch – fully automated urine workflow

The cobas 6500 urine analyser series is a fully automated urine work area solution for laboratories processing 100 – 500 urine samples per day. Due to its modular design cobas 6500 urine ­analyser series can be installed as a stand-alone urine analyser or as a stand-alone ­microscopy analyser, together as a fully automated urine work area.
