Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for clinical laboratories.
The COBAS® TaqMan® 48 Analyzer allows automated real-time amplification and detection of DNA or RNA for up to two simultaneous assays. Can be used with the COBAS® AmpliPrep Instrument and AMPLILINK Software for increased automation.
Application flexibility
The product's utility channel provides the flexibility to consolidate standardized assays for virus testing and as many as 10 user-defined applications on a single platform.
Fast procedure, fast results
Real-time PCR allows amplification and detection of RNA and DNA within hours.
Simple to use
Closed analyzer requires no user interaction after sample loading is completed, reducing the risk of sample contamination and optimizing workflow.
Easy to integrate
Compact footprint requires little space.
Superior assay performance
Highly sensitive and highly specific, with a broad dynamic range.
Additional features
COBAS® Automated, Real-time PCR Solutions
Combine the COBAS® TaqMan® 48 Analyzer with the COBAS® AmpliPrep Instrument to simplify your workflow with automated sample preparation, amplification, and quantitation of RNA or DNA.
Data management
AMPLILINK software provides a simple, efficient user interface between the COBAS® TaqMan® 48 Analyzer and the custom-built, Windows®-based PC supplied with the system.
Loading capacity
Two different assays can be loaded on board simultaneously. Each thermal cycler can run individual PCR profiles.
