Delivering unrivaled efficiency and safety with automation

Cross-contamination is a primary concern in molecular diagnostics due to the high sensitivity of real-time PCR assays. The Molecular Work Area’s pre-analytical and sample transportation systems have been validated for cross-contamination compliance,1,2 ensuring reliable results and minimum operator interaction across the entire workflow.

Transform workflows and optimize result quality with comprehensive inspection of sample quality and volume

Quality comes first

Roche pre-analytical systems automate and streamline workflows according to specific sample types, allowing for efficient, standardized, and simplified PCR setup.

Connecting the cobas® prime Pre-Analytical System to a cobas® 6800 or cobas® 8800 System creates a Molecular Work Area capable of automating and consolidating greater than 90%* of routine molecular testing. This fully automated molecular workflow allows for more productive use of valuable technician time and eliminates time-consuming manual sample handling, reducing the risk of cross contamination, human error, and repetitive motion injuries.
