cobas® s 201 system
cobas s 201 system
The cobas s 201 system is a complete NAT solution supporting the central needs of blood screening labs, combining the efficiency and reliability of real-time PCR technology with modular automation, ready-to-use reagents and a robust menu selection.
Protect patients from infectious diseases with modular NAT screening
The cobas s 201 system is a complete nucleic acid testing (NAT) solution that supports the central needs of blood screening laboratories with assays covering HIV, HCV, HBV, HAV, parvovirus B19 and West Nile virus.
Combining real-time PCR technology and modular automation, the cobas s 201 system minimizes hands-on time across the entire testing process, while multi-dye technology makes confirmatory testing obsolete.
A modular design that allows expansion with ready to use reagents, integrated back-up capabilities, and built-in contamination control to meet increased testing demands.
