cobas e 402 Analyzer
The cobas e 402 analyzer is an ideal solution for laboratories needing an efficient, accurate, safe, and easy-to-operate immunoassay system, helping to optimize space and resources.
The cobas e 402 analyzer is a fully automated immunoassay system designed to deliver superior performance and accurate results, particularly suitable for laboratories with limited space. As the latest member of the cobas® pure system, it utilizes Roche’s advanced ElectroChemiLuminescence (ECL) technology.
Key Features and Benefits:
- High Performance and Speed:
- Provides a throughput of up to 120 immunoassay tests per hour.
- Ensures fast turnaround times with 93% of tests having a reaction time of 18 minutes or less, and STAT (emergency) tests taking just 9 minutes.
- High analytical sensitivity and a broad measuring range minimize the need for sample dilution or rerun, saving time and reagent costs.
