Fully Automated PCR Systems

COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® System

COBAS® TaqMan® 48 The COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® System is a fully automated system designed to improve workflow efficiencies from sample preparation to real-time amplification and detection. The COBAS® AmpliPrep Instrument isolates RNA or DNA targets for real-time PCR using generic capture with silica-coated glass particles.

The COBAS® AmpliPrep Instrument offers:

  • Improved workflow efficiency for reduced hands-on time, which contributes to greater laboratory productivity
  • Three bar-coded sample racks of 24 specimens each
  • Internal controls, allowing for target recovery monitoring
  • Bar coded reagents packaged in ready-to-use spill-proof cassettes with self-sealing caps for increased stability

To meet your throughput needs, the COBAS® AmpliPrep Instrument can be used with either the COBAS® TaqMan® Analyzer or smaller COBAS® TaqMan® 48 Analyzer.

The COBAS® TaqMan® System offers:

  • Continuous operation with no manual transfer of samples between preparation, amplification, and detection to streamline workflow and maximize lab productivity when the COBAS® TaqMan® Analyzer is docked to the COBAS® AmpliPrep Instrument
  • Higher throughput with continuous operation and 96-test capacity
  • Task flexibility with four independent, onboard thermal cyclers allowing up to four different protocols and four independent runs to be processed simultaneously
  • Real-time PCR, allowing amplification and detection of RNA and DNA within hours for faster results
  • The quantitation standard, AmpErase Enzyme and closed-tube format requiring no user interaction after sample loading is completed, reducing the risk of sample contamination and optimizing workflow to ensure greater result integrity
  • Test systems that provide excellent sensitivity, specificity, and quantification over broad dynamic ranges
  • AMPLILINK software, providing a simple, efficient user interface between the COBAS® TaqMan® Analyzer and the custom-built, Windows®-based PC supplied with the system
  • Automated and fully docked systems available with the COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® HIV-1 Test (CE-IVD and FDA approved), HCV, and HBV assays (CE-IVD)
