cobas® 8000 modular analyzer series

Take your lab’s performance to the peak
While your lab is facing rising complexity and unpredictability, it is also facing intensifying pressure to deliver. Reliability of your analyzer and vendor are not just a convenience—they are critical to maximizing your lab’s success and upholding the standard of care to which you aspire.
cobas® 8000 modular analyzer series is a scalable module based Serum Work Area (SWA) solution for a wide range of in vitro diagnostics testing of clinical chemistry & immunochemistry designed for high throughput laboratories.

Immunochemistry Modules
The cobas® 8000 modular analyzer series offers two immunochemistry modules designed to address different throughput and workflow laboratory needs.

cobas® e 602 module
The cobas® e 602 module is a mid-volume throughput immunochemistry module that performs a broad range of heterogeneous immunoassay tests using the highly innovative and patented ElectroChemiLuminescence (ECL) technology.
- Heterogeneous immunoassays
- Throughput of up to 170 tests/hour
- 25 reagent positions
- Reagent cassette loading/unloading during standby
- Carryover-free disposable tips
- Clot and air bubble detection

cobas® e 801 module
The cobas® e 801 module is a high throughput immunochemistry module that performs a broad range of heterogeneous immunoassay tests using the highly innovative and patented ElectroChemiLuminescence (ECL) technology. cobas® e 801 is the latest addition to the cobas® 8000 modular analyzer series
- Heterogeneous immunoassays
- Throughput of up to 300 tests/hour
- 48 reagent positions
- Continuous reagent cassette loading/unloading during operation
- Carryover-free disposable tips
- Clot and air bubble detection
Clinical Chemistry Modules
The cobas® 8000 modular analyzer series offers three clinical chemistry modules and two ISE modules designed to address different throughput and workflow laboratory needs.

cobas® c 502 module
cobas® c 502 is a medium throughput clinical chemistry module that performs photometric assay tests for a wide range of analytes.
- Clinical chemistry, homogeneous immunoassays, HbA1c (whole blood measurement)
- Throughput of up to 600 tests/hour
- 60 reagent positions
- Continuous reagent cassette loading/unloading during operation Specimen integrity via serum indices, clot and liquid level detection
- Contact-free ultrasonic mixing

cobas® c 701 module
The cobas® c 701 module is a high throughput clinical chemistry module that performs photometric assay tests for a wide range of analytes. This module has the same functionality and throughput as cobas® c 702 module but it doesn’t feature the reagent manager. With a throughput of up to 2000 tests/hour the cobas® c 701 module has the capacity to handle heavy workloads and ensure efficiency in your lab.
- Clinical chemistry, homogeneous immunoassays
- Throughput of up to 2,000 tests/hour
- 70 reagent positions
- Manual reagent cassette loading/unloading during standby
- Specimen integrity via serum indices, clot and liquid level detection
- Contact-free ultrasonic mixing
- 2 sample probes
- 4 reagent probes
- Pipetting cycle time of 1.8 seconds

cobas® c 702 module
The cobas® c 702 module is a high throughput clinical chemistry module that performs photometric assay tests for a wide range of analytes. It is equipped with a reagent manager, which allows for automatic reagent cassette decapping and loading/unloading during operation. With a throughput of up to 2000 tests/hour the cobas® c 702 module has the capacity to handle heavy workloads and ensure efficiency in your lab.
- Clinical chemistry, homogeneous immunoassays
- Throughput of up to 2,000 tests/hour
- 70 reagent positions
- Continuous reagent cassette loading/unloading during operation
- Automatic reagent cassette decapping
- Specimen integrity via serum indices, clot and liquid level detection
- Contact-free ultrasonic mixing
- 2 sample probes
- 4 reagent probes
- Pipetting cycle time of 1.8 seconds

cobas® ISE module
The cobas® ISE module measures the concentration of sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and chloride (Cl-). It is available in two configurations with identical footprint but different throughout: 900 or 1,800 tests/hour
- Sodium, potassium, chloride
- 900 or 1,800 tests/hour
- ISE specific sample probe with clot detection
- Independent processing line
