The cobas® pure integrated testing solution from Roche Diagnostics is an advanced in-vitro diagnostic system, specifically designed to optimize performance and simplify daily operations for laboratories with limited space. cobas® pure integrates clinical chemistry, immunoassay, and electrolyte testing on a single platform, occupying just two square meters. This system offers a comprehensive test menu with over 230 test types, including many tests with high medical value.

The cobas® pure system is available in three integrated configurations to suit diverse laboratory needs:

• Sample Supply Unit (SSU): Allows for direct loading and unloading of up to 50 samples at once, with a separate STAT port for urgent samples.
• cobas e 402 Analyzer (Immunoassay): Achieves a throughput of up to 120 tests/hour and has 28 on-board reagent positions.
• cobas c 303 Analyzer (Clinical Chemistry and Electrolyte): Provides a throughput of up to 450 photometric tests/hour, 450 ISE tests/hour, or 750 tests/hour in mixed mode. It has 42 reagent positions.

Outstanding Advantages of cobas® pure:

• Fast and Reliable Turnaround Time:
  • 93% of immunoassays have a reaction time of 18 minutes or less, with STAT (emergency) tests taking just 9 minutes.
  • The system allows operators to view completion times for each sample, test, and overall final results.
• Optimized Hands-off Time and Operational Efficiency:
  • Significantly reduces manual maintenance work, with only 5 minutes of daily maintenance required.
  • Revolutionary cobas® AutoCal feature automates calibration of new reagent lots for most clinical chemistry tests, reducing calibration workload by 56% and saving up to 105 hours annually.
  • Ready-to-use cobas c pack green and cobas e pack green reagents, requiring no preparation or mixing—just take them from the refrigerator and load them directly onto the instrument.
  • Superior on-board stability: Up to 4 months for immunoassays (98% of tests) and up to 6 months for clinical chemistry (57% of reagents).
• Optimized Laboratory Space:
  • Compact design allows for full functionality integration in just 2 square meters (for integrated clinical chemistry – immunoassay configuration).
  • Immunoassay-only or clinical chemistry-only configurations occupy just 1.2 square meters.
• Ensured Quality and Superior Safety:
  • High reliability with over 99% uptime, proven on 75,000 analyzers globally.
  • Disposable tips and reaction cups on the immunoassay analyzer completely eliminate the risk of cross-contamination.
  • Cross-contamination prevention program and non-contact ultrasonic mixing on the clinical chemistry analyzer ensure sample integrity.
  • The system integrates liquid level detection, foam detection, and clot detection to enhance accuracy and safety.
• Standardization and Future-Proof:
  • Uses the same technology and reagents as other cobas® systems, ensuring consistent results and simplifying staff training.
  • Roche is committed to continuously innovating the test menu, expanding indications, and developing new assays with high medical value, delivering superior accuracy and sensitivity.
