The cobas® pro integrated testing solution from Roche Diagnostics is an advanced diagnostic system, specifically designed to deliver simple operation and excellent performance for medium to large-volume laboratories, with the capacity to process up to 4,400 tests/hour.

The cobas® pro system stands out with its flexible modular design, allowing for integration of multiple analyzers to meet diverse laboratory needs. Key components include:

• Sample Supply Unit (SSU): Achieves a throughput of up to 1,000 samples/hour, with direct loading and unloading of 300 samples at once, and a separate STAT port for urgent samples.
• ISE Analyzer: Performs electrolyte tests (Na+, K+, Cl-) with a throughput of up to 900 tests/hour.
• cobas c 503 Analyzer: For clinical chemistry testing, with a throughput of up to 1,000 tests/hour and 60 reagent positions.
• cobas e 801 Analyzer: Specializes in immunoassay testing, achieving a throughput of up to 300 tests/hour and 48 reagent positions.

cobas® pro is optimized to help laboratories utilize time most effectively, with key benefits:

• Fast Turnaround Time: Provides fast and predictable results, with 9 minutes for STAT (emergency) tests and 18 minutes for routine tests. This is achieved through high-capacity analyzers, intelligent sample routing, and short immunoassay incubation times.
• Reduced Manual Handling: The system is designed to significantly reduce manual maintenance work. The cobas c 503 analyzer requires almost no daily maintenance (0 minutes), while the cobas e 801 requires only 5 minutes of manual daily maintenance.
• Groundbreaking cobas® AutoCal™ Technology: Revolutionizes the calibration process. New reagent lots are automatically calibrated without manual intervention, saving time and cost.
• Efficient Reagent Management: Uses the latest generation of cobas c pack green and cobas e pack green reagents. These reagent packs are larger, have the longest on-board stability in the market (up to 6 months for clinical chemistry and 4 months for immunoassays), require no prior preparation, and minimize waste.
• High Reliability and Safety: Designed to achieve over 300 days between unplanned repairs, with an uptime of over 99%.
  • cobas® SonicWash cleans sample probes using ultrasonic technology, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination and reducing clot blockages.
  • RFID-tagged reagents and consumables minimize manual management errors.
• Standardization and Flexibility: The cobas® pro system uses the same technology, test menu, and operational interface as other cobas solutions, simplifying staff training and ensuring consistent results across the entire system.
• Space Optimization: Smart design with cobas® pack green reagent boxes helps maximize laboratory space.
• Smallest Sample Aspiration Volume in the Market: Contributes to optimized sample utilization.
