Open channel testing, enabling you to do more with less

In today's cost-driven healthcare environment, many laboratories are searching for ways to increase operational gains. Open channel assays, including IVD and Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs), can play an important role not only in achieving financial objectives but in redefining a laboratory's value within the wider healthcare environment.

Expand your testing possibilities

The cobas omni Utility Channel, a dedicated open channel for use on the cobas® 5800/6800/8800 Systems, enables a broader testing menu by consolidating open channel assays with Roche IVD assays on a single platform. This is a key component of the Molecular Work Area, giving labs the ability to consolidate and automate a wider array of testing on a single platform. 

Validated Assays

Consolidate and automate a wider array of CE-IVD testing on the cobas® 5800/6800/8800 Systems with validated assays on the cobas omni Utility Channel.

Validated assays minimize variability and complexity in testing, reducing workload and alleviating risk of error for laboratories.

Custom designed LDTs

Truly customize your menu by developing LDTs on the cobas omni Utility Channel for further lab consolidation. The LDT testing workflow uses the same processes, consumables and reagents as IVD testing.

Configure your assays to detect up to 12 individual targets from three different PCRs in a single run with no pre-sorting required.
