cobas® 8800 System

Very high throughput, very little operator interaction

Sample supply
Samples are placed onboard the sample supply module using standard 5-position racks and supporting rack trays. Each sample is then moved automatically into the transfer module. Sample racks hold 5 primary or secondary sample tubes. Each rack tray holds 15 sample racks, for a total of 75 sample tubes per tray.
Sample transfer

The transfer module automatically moves samples into the System for barcode scanning and subsequent transfer from primary or secondary tubes onto the cobas omni processing plate.

Sample preparation

Extraction and purification of nucleic acids from input samples takes place in the processing module. The purified nucleic acids are then transferred to amplification plates, along with test-specific amplification master mixes to prepare the plates for amplification and detection in the analytical modules. The inventory manager houses all reagents, controls and consumables necessary to achieve complete automation.

Amplification and detection

The analytical module performs the automated amplification and detection of target nucleic acids using real-time PCR technology.

Own the future of molecular testing

For blood screening and other applications that require very high throughput, the cobas® 8800 System can run up to 960 tests in an 8-hour shift—4,032 tests in 24 hours—with only 3 user interactions and up to 4 hours of walk-away time per run.*

*May vary based on workflow demands.

Absolute automation

  • Ready-to-load reagents do not require thawing, mixing or pouring, while radio-frequency identification (RFID) and barcodes ensure full traceability from sample in to results out
  • Automated onboard storage and refrigeration system enable ready access and maintain inventory of consumables and reagents
  • Uni- and bi-directional laboratory information system (LIS) interface simplifies order and result handling
  • Connect up to 6 cobas p 680 instruments for automated pooling, sample archiving, and workflow traceability

*May vary based on workflow demands

Unmatched flexibility

  • Mixed testing makes it possible to perform up to 3 tests in the same run with no pre-sorting required
  • Optimise sample utilisation, processing up to three different tests from a single patient sample
  • Simplify workflow using universal processes, consumables and reagents so you can run any test any time you want
  • Meet your needs today and in the future with a broad and expanding assay menu
  • Handle high-priority samples quickly and easily with a dedicated priority lane

Full laboratory automation, unrivalled efficiency

The cobas® 8800 System has the ability to connect with pre- and post-analytic instruments, as well as those associated with other disciplines using cobas® connection modules (CCM).

Pre-analytics

Reduce manual handling for improved quality and safety

Other disciplines

Include serum work area (SWA), urinalysis, or haematology

Post-analytics

Facilitate fully-automated sample retrieval for add-on testing
