cobas® Connection Module (CCM)

Roche introduces vertical transportation for CCM
Discover new opportunities to design and operate your lab in the most effective way. CCM Vertical is designed for overhead sample transportation, enabling cross walkways, floor to floor transportation, split solutions across different work areas and much more. CCM Vertical works seamlessly with the rest of the solution, enabling the same quality, reliability and performance, with up to 2500 samples/hour, just like horizontal transportation.
The growing flexibility
You can still take advantage of the huge flexibility of the standalone automation concept, while adding predictability of time to results by getting connected through cobas connection modules.
Multidisciplinary connectivity
CCM gives you the option to connect multiple laboratory disciplines in a seamless integrated solution:
- Serum Work Area
- Hematology
- Coagulation
- Urinalysis
- Allergy
- Molecular Diagnostics
- Post-analytics
Quality comes first
Comprehensive inspection of samples at an early stage, optimizing the lab workflow and ensuring the best use of time and resources, including:
- Tube type identification
- Liquid Level Detection
- Spin status detection, which identifies whether blood samples have been centrifuged or not
- Sample quality check, which enables detection of normal, hemolytic, lipemic and icteric samples
Workflow your way
Personalized workflows enable you to choose from primary, aliquot or mixed workflow:
- Primary sample workflow – if the focus is on cost efficiency
- Aliquot workflow – if the focus is on sample integrity and parallel testing
- Mixed workflow – to optimize the benefits of both workflows
Scalable
Easy on-site solution expansion as you need it
High flexibility for standalone work area
CCM is also a valuable option for sorting non-connected work areas:
- Flexible and freely definable sorting areas
- Sorting into various racks supplied from Roche and other vendors
- First pass and recursive workflow
- Archiving of samples
Fast and simply efficient

cobas connection modules is a connected automation solution validated for cross-contamination compliance and therefore may be used to automate and simplify processes in clinical laboratories and blood banks.

cobas connection modules connects pre-analytical system to multidisciplinary targets streamlining and optimizing laboratory processes.
cobas connection modules (CCM) is designed for high throughput laboratories adding predictability for the shortest time to results. CCM is pioneer to connect to Molecular Diagnostics, offers a comprehensive inspection of samples quality at an early stage while remaining flexible. With CCM, everything is designed to work together as one.
cobas® Bulk Loader Input Module (BLIM)
Single point of entry for convenient sample loading
A cobas BLIM can be connected in front of the pre-analytical system for loading closed tubes, which can be already centrifuged or not. Samples can also be loaded via the Priority Loading for faster processing. cobas BLIM can be connected to a Pneumatic Tube System, automating your solution from the very beginning of the sample journey.
