The cobas e 801 analyzer is a fully automated immunoassay system specifically designed for high-volume laboratories. As part of the cobas® pro integrated solution, it utilizes Roche’s patented ElectroChemiLuminescence (ECL) technology, delivering superior performance and accurate, reliable results.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Superior Performance and Speed:
  • Provides high throughput of up to 300 tests per hour.
  • Ensures fast turnaround times with 93% of immunoassays having a reaction time of 18 minutes or less, especially STAT (emergency) tests taking just 9 minutes.
  • Features 2 measuring chambers with a 24-second cycle time per channel, optimizing workflow.
  • ECL technology offers high analytical sensitivity, low detection limits, and good linearity across the entire measuring range, ensuring accurate and precise diagnoses.
  • A broad measuring range significantly minimizes the need for dilution or sample rerun, saving time and reagent costs.
• Efficient and Simplified Reagent Management:
  • Uses the latest cobas e pack green generation of ready-to-use reagents, requiring no preparation, mixing, or waiting before loading. Operators can take reagents directly from the refrigerator and load them onto the analyzer.
  • Has 48 on-board reagent positions, allowing for a diverse test menu.
  • Supports uninterrupted continuous reagent loading during operation, along with automatic reagent cassette uncapping and automatic reagent unloading when needed.
  • On-board stability of cobas e pack green reagents up to 4 months for 98% of tests, optimizing usage and reducing waste.
  • The system minimizes calibration with long-stable calibration curves, supporting lot calibration and easy 2-point calibration.
• Smart and Maximally Safe Sample Handling:
  • Small sample aspiration volume, only 4 to 60 µL per test, saving samples.
  • Uses disposable tips and reaction cups to completely eliminate the risk of cross-contamination, ensuring sample integrity and safety.
  • Integrates clot detection, liquid level detection, and bubble detection, providing early alerts for sample issues.
  • The incubation chamber has 94 positions, allowing for simultaneous processing of a large number of tests.
• Simple Operation and High Reliability:
  • Reduces manual maintenance work to just 5 minutes daily, freeing up personnel for higher-value tasks.
  • The system boasts an exceptional uptime of over 99%, proven by thousands of installed systems worldwide, ensuring continuous and stable workflow.
  • Unified operation with other cobas systems through a common user interface, simplifying training and personnel management.
