Roche launches new analytical units for cobas pro integrated solutions

Roche has launched its new analytical units, cobas^® c 703 and cobas^® ISE neo, for the cobas^® pro integrated solutions, in countries accepting the CE mark. The cobas pro integrated solutions is a scalable and modular diagnostic platform designed for high-volume laboratories. The cobas c 703 and cobas ISE neo analytical units offer cutting-edge features to help address some of the key challenges faced by diagnostic laboratories worldwide such as shortage of qualified staff and space limitations.

cobas c 703 analytical unit

The new cobas c 703 analytical unit is designed to double the clinical chemistry throughput on cobas pro integrated solutions, offering up to 2,000 tests per hour and 70 reagent positions. This increased onboard reagent capacity means more high-value tests can be performed whilst improving workflow efficiency and saving time spent reloading reagents. This new unit will minimize operator maintenance to once a month, increasing uptime for laboratories.

cobas ISE neo analytical unit

The cobas ISE neo is designed to improve ion selective electrode (ISE) testing efficiency, offering up to 1,800 tests per hour. With a number of innovative hardware and software features, including an automated calibration concept, it reduces the need for manual intervention. It also performs more tests per reagent bottle, reducing the frequency of bottle changes, minimizing plastic waste, and reducing logistical efforts compared to previous generation systems.

By automating work that would have been done manually in the past, these new units further improve lab efficiency, thus addressing the shortage of qualified staff and increasing the volume of tests that can be delivered to the people who need them most.

cobas pro integrated solutions

cobas pro integrated solutions is a scalable and modular solution designed to meet mid-to-very-high volume clinical chemistry and immunochemistry testing needs. This analyser features automated maintenance and cobas^® AutoCal, an automated calibration procedure, to save hands-on time. Additionally, it incorporates cobas® SonicWash, an ultrasonic probe cleaning to ensure sample integrity.

cobas pro integrated solutions is fully compatible with the cobas^® mobile solution, a tablet that integrates multiple Roche applications, allowing laboratory professionals to interact with the analyser from anywhere in the lab.

Designed to integrate into clinical chemistry and immunochemistry testing, Roche’s innovative mass spectrometry analyser will also be available as part of the cobas pro integrated solutions in the near future.
