cobas p 680 Instrument

Maintaining blood safety requires an enormous amount from blood banks and plasma fractionators. One major challenge is effectively identifying and screening large populations for new emerging pathogens, as well as controlling the spread of new and existing pathogens by testing at-risk populations.

The cobas^® 6800/8800 Systems bring absolute automation, unparalleled performance and unmatched flexibility to molecular laboratories. The cobas p 680 Instrument taps into the full potential of these powerful analyzers by reducing manual handling and increasing quality and safety.

The cobas p 680 Instrument automates blood sample pooling and pipetting for nucleic acid testing (NAT) and archiving. With a software interface designed to complement the cobas^® 6800 System and cobas^® 8800 System, this pre-analytic system supports optimized workflow efficiency and full traceability.

• Automate secondary-tube pooling and pipetting into aliquot plates for archiving
• Utilizes Roche-standard 5-position racks and rack trays to help streamline workflow with our pre-analytic and analytic systems
• Automated rack loading onto instrument once trays are deposited

• Barcoded secondary tubes for end-to-end sample traceability
• The error lane allows users to easily identify tubes with pipetting errors
• Full integration into the cobas^® 6800 System and cobas^® 8800 System software for seamless data transfer

• Total aspiration and dispense monitoring (TADM) for accurate sample transfer
• Capacitive liquid level detection to prevent overflow and contamination
• Compressed O-ring expansion (CO-RE) tip technology prevents contamination by aerosols

• Connect up to 6 cobas p 680 instruments to the cobas^® 6800 System and cobas^® 8800 System
• Deck capacity for 500 tubes
