With a broad and expanding menu of assays consolidated into one system and the ability to add customized lab developed tests (LDTs), you can increase laboratory operations while reducing costs and maximizing productivity.
cobas® 4800 system

Works the way you do. Take control of your workday.
With walk-away automated sample preparation plus the advantage of advanced real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology for amplification and detection, the cobas® 4800 System helps labs deliver accurate and reliable results for the highest quality service and support to their clinicians and patients.
Enhanced Workflow efficiency
The cobas® 4800 System brings flexible sample loading to your fingertips for virology, sexual health and microbiology testing. Handling multiple types of primary and secondary vials in the same run, laboratories can improve turnaround time and control costs while eliminating errors and providing reliable, standardized results.
Ready-to-use reagents, optimized run times and simultaneous testing leads to significant time savings and increased efficiency.
Run up to four assays - simultaneously
Combine your microbiology or virology testing in a single run for efficient and timely testing of patients with co-infections and comorbidities.
Combine:
- MRSA, Cdiff, HSV -1/2 and CT/NG
- HIV-1, HCV, HCV GT, CMV
No batching or pre-sorting is required.
Instilling confidence in every result
Built-in safeguards to guarantee dependable and reproducible results:
- CO-RE Tip technology to minimize aerosol production
- Anti-Droplet Control to prevent droplet formation with pressure monitoring
- Total Aspirate and Dispense Monitoring to control aspiration and liquid dispensing and detect foamy samples or clots
- AmpErase enzyme to prevent carryover contamination
