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

cobas® prime Pre-analytical System
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.
