Unlock your lab’s potential with automation, consolidation, integration and standardization

In the face of healthcare’s rapidly changing landscape, many laboratories are looking for sustainable long-term solutions. End your search with the cobas® 8800 System, the first very high throughput, fully integrated laboratory automation system with a broad menu.

Long-term sustainability is here

This industry-leading system sits at the heart of the Molecular Work Area—an unrivaled efficiency and connectivity solution for laboratories looking to secure their future success. The Molecular Work Area unlocks your ability to automate and consolidate up to 90% of routine testing into a single workflow, even across disciplines. With up to 4 hours of walk-away time* and just 3 user interactions per run, lab staff are free to focus on higher-value tasks.

cobas® 8800 System - The entry point for sustainability and success
Maximize the potential of real-time PCR testing

As healthcare shifts from volume to value, the cobas® 8800 System can help you elevate the value your laboratory provides your organization. Since 2014, more than 1000 cobas® 6800 and cobas® 8800 Systems have been installed on five continents, helping laboratories automate, consolidate, integrate and standardize molecular testing like never before.

Unrivaled diagnostic performance, today and in the future.

Deliver trusted, reproducible results while rapidly completing your daily testing requirements. The cobas® 8800 System can run up to 96 results in about 3 hours* and up to 1,824 results from an 8 hour shift.

  • Fastest times to result
  • Unprecedented throughput
  • Minimal hands-on time

*May vary based on assay availability in your country

Absolute automation for absolute efficiency

Transform “walk-away” time into “work-away” time. With minimal and intuitive interactions, laboratories can reduce the potential for human error, maximize safety and free-up technicians for higher value-added tasks.

With the Molecular Work Area’s modular design, you can easily integrate pre-analytical automation solutions to further streamline workflows, reduce the risk of cross contamination, and elevate efficiency to new heights.

Standardizing process for optimal outcomes

The cobas® 8800 System requires no sorting or batching of samples, no reagent preparation, and no manual set up of runs.

Standardized workflows across a broad menu of assays allow for optimized resource management, reducing training requirements and numbers of suppliers.

  • Ready-to-use reagents do not require thawing, mixing or pouring
  • Automated onboard storage and refrigeration system enable ready access and maintain inventory of consumables and reagents
  • Radio-frequency identification (RFID) and barcodes ensure full traceability from sample in to results out
  • Uni- and bi-directional LIS interface simplifies order and result handling

With a broad on-demand assay menu, the cobas® 8800 System allows you to run the tests you want, when you want.

  • Process up to 3 different tests from a single patient sample
  • Perform 3 tests simultaneously on up to 4 thermocyclers
  • Handle high-priority samples quickly and easily with a dedicated priority lane

The cobas omni Utility Channel allows you to broaden your menu and achieve greater testing flexibility. This dedicated open channels brings the workflow efficiencies of IVD test to high-volume laboratory developed tests (LDTs) and third party assays, standardizing workflows and minimizing the opportunity for error.
