cobas liat

Unparalleled accuracy in diagnostic testing

. . . now at physicians' fingertips

Roche has pioneered the advancement of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, now recognized as a gold standard in laboratory diagnostics.

  • Proprietary, Nobel Prize-winning technology
  • Identifies infectious diseases by replicating DNA or RNA extracted from patient samples
  • High sensitivity and specificity across assays reduces the risk of false negatives and false positives

 

Recognized as one of the most important scientific advances of the 20th century*, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a quick, easy way to create unlimited copies of DNA or RNA from just one original strand.

* 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).

The cobas® liat system for results-oriented patient care

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.

  • Each cobas® liat system assay tube contains a set of chemical reagents used in the detection of DNA or RNA sequences unique to a particular infectious disease
  • Inside the cobas® liat system, pressure and heat are precisely applied to the tube segments, mixing the sample and reagents in a prescribed sequence
  • DNA or RNA from within the sample is amplified and analyzed to detect and identify disease
  • An accurate positive or negative result is generated in 20 minutes or less
