With flexible workflows, early error detection and fully automated add-on handling, cobas 8100 allows for personalized solutions to suit individual laboratory needs, guaranteeing that quality comes first.

Integrated, science-driven solutions that help simplify the lab operations and support more patient-centric care.

Take integration to the next power with navify® Lab Operations. It was designed from the drawing board for people to work to their full potential. With navify® Lab Operations powering your lab, performance that was once not possible, is now a reality.
navify® Analytics for Core Lab is intended to make use of data that has been aggregated and prepared by the navify® Analytics platform to provide operational insights for various aspects of the laboratory, including: • Order, sample, and test volumes • Turn-around times • Rerun result analysis • Manual validation analysis • Instrument utilization • Serum index analysis • Test result analysis • Quality control analysis Dashboards provide users the ability to view and interact with various analytics as the data is uploaded at a defined schedule. The level of interaction includes setting basic and advanced filters, filtering on specific data elements, drilling down into the data, viewing details, etcetera. Snapshots of dashboards can be created for trending and comparison, as well as initiating a discussion thread with other users with common interest. The dashboards available to an individual user are based on the user's defined role. Dashboards provide aggregated visualizations of multiple laboratories.
navify® Monitoring is a stand-alone software application to be used with cobas® infinity central lab. navify Monitoring enables the display of laboratory workflow events within widgets in near real-time. The source of this workflow data is cobas® infinity central lab.navify® Monitoring is not intended for making medical decisions regarding patient treatment and health or for use in Blood/Plasma Donor Screening Laboratories.
