ROCHE Cobas 6000 Chemistry Analyzer

Listing description

The ROCHE Cobas 6000 Chemistry Analyzer is the first member of the new cobas modular platform. It offers medium workload laboratories tailor-made solutions for clinical chemistry and immunochemistry testing. The cobas® 6000 analyzer series can consolidate into one integrated platform up to 95% of your routine workload of clinical chemistry and immunoassay testing. The cobas® 6000 analyzer series automates and simplifies your lab’s workload. Fully compatible with MODULAR PRE-ANALYTICS PLUS system, the cobas® 6000 analyzer series can seamlessly integrate pre-analytical automation. We’ve made operations in your lab simpler by standardizing Roche Diagnostics analyzers with common reagent carriers, applications, analytical technologies, and software interface. With the cobas® 6000 analyzer series, there is one sample tube, one patient result report, and one LIS connection. The cobas® 6000 analyzer series gives you the power to control your lab, improve financial performance, enhance efficiency, and make a difference for the doctors and patients who rely on the critical information you provide to make vital decisions about healthcare, every day.
