When there is a pressing need for a diagnosis and a treatment decision, patients rely on
you and your staff for the most responsive, trustworthy medical attention available.
The cobas Liat PCR System allows you to detect and identify Influenza A/B, Influenza
A/B & RSV and Strep A — in your own clinic, using gold-standard PCR technology
previously available only in complex molecular laboratories.
The cobas Liat PCR System is small, easy to use and fast—able to provide accurate results by
the end of a patient’s appointment.
The cobas Liat System is on-site molecular testing you can depend on.
For the patients who depend on you.
With real-time PCR technology
No need for interpretation.
3 easy steps; 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the assay.
. . . now at physicians' fingertips
Roche has pioneered the advancement of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, now recognized as a gold standard in laboratory diagnostics.
Recognized as one of the most important scientific advances of the 20th century1, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a quick, easy way to create unlimited copies of DNA or RNA from just one original strand.
1. Mark R. Hughes, deputy director of the National Center for Human Genome Research at the National Institutes of Health (perhaps better known as the Human Genome Project).
In large molecular laboratories, PCR analysis can be performed on many samples simultaneously—a multi-step process requiring a skilled technician.
The cobas Liat System fully automates these steps for the rapid analysis of a single sample, making it ideal for time-sensitive in-office diagnoses.
No operator intervention or interpretation required.
