It uses the convenient cobas c pack reagent format, which standardizes patient results across integrated laboratory networks. Each cobas c pack holds all necessary reagents for up to 800 determinations, maximizing on-board capacity and reducing the need for operator intervention and frequent reloading. For high volume tests, multiple cobas c packs of the same assay can be on-board for automatic switch-over during run.
Manufactured by Roche Diagnostics, this analyzer comes with four measuring technologies such as Absorbance photometry, Turbidimetry, Fluorescence polarimetry, and Ion-selective electrode potentiometry. It provides highly correlating results across all cobas® platforms. This system's comprehensive testing capabilities on a compact footprint and robust system design makes it an ideal solution for clinical chemistry testing in laboratories running 50 to 250 samples per day.
The equipment's highly sensitive pressure sensors detect incorrect pipetting even at 2µl sample volume. Faulty samples are immediately flagged to improve handling of clotted samples. To remove the clot from sample probes, system wash pressures are optimized, thereby avoiding any maintenance actions and interruptions to workflow.
This compact bench top system for labs with limited floor space also features
- Ready-to-use reagents with a long stability and low calibration effort
- Onboard capacity of 8 racks with 4 cobas c packs each
- Comprehensive testing capabilities on a compact footprint
- Single-use cuvettes to ensure carry-over free analytics
- Refrigerated storage for long calibration stability
- Sophisticated software programs to simplify operation and training
- Continuous access to up to 90 samples for a smoother workflow
- Clot detection and pipetting safeguards
- Extremely stable LED light source for fluorescence polarisation
Its broad test menu comprises over 120 assays and applications that consolidate clinical chemistry with specific proteins, therapeutic drug monitoring and drug of abuse testing. This analyzer's quality control programs monitor precision and accuracy to ensure reliable results. The software automatically tracks service needs and alerts the user when maintenance is due.
COBAS INTEGRA 400 Plus ensures reduced costs through enhanced efficiency. A single workstation allows the best use of time and budget by reducing operating costs as well as costs associated with operating, maintaining and servicing multiple analytical systems. Users can purchase new as well as refurbished models of this analyzer as well as other chemistry/immunoassay analyzers from professional online stores of reliable dealers at a better price.
