The cobas®
6000 analyzer series offers...
|
 Integration
|
|
The cobas® 6000 analyzer
series can consolidate into one integrated platform up to 95% of
your routine workload of clinical chemistry and immunoassay testing. |
| Automation |
|
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. |
| Standardization
|
|
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. |
| Control |
|
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. |

| Accurate results |
Reduces carryover |
7 possible configurations |
|
Patented Roche ECL technology
delivers unmatched low-end sensitivity and broad dynamic
range—one of the broadest measuring ranges in the industry.
High-quality reagents, clot detection, test-specific serum indices,
and carryover protection ensure accurate results the first time. |
|
|
Fast, non-contact mixing at the
ultrasonic mixing stations of the cobas c 501 analyzer and
disposable tips and cups on the cobas e 601 analyzer reduce
the potential for carryover. Special handling for high-priority
assays (e.g., hepatitis, tumor markers, and βhCG) increases
safety. |
|
|
The cobas®
6000 analyzer series is truly modular, so it's easy to customize a
system based on an individualized workflow analysis of your lab.
Start with a cobas c 501 analyzer and/or a cobas e 601
analyzer. Add front-end automation with Roche's MODULAR PRE-ANALYTICS
PLUS system. As your needs change, add modules to create any of
seven possible configurations.
|
|
| Improved safety
|
Simplified
operations |
|
The cobas®
6000 analyzer series significantly reduces manual sample handling,
eliminating the need to transfer tubes from one analyzer to another
and the necessity of sample preparation when running the whole blood
HbA1c application. cobas link's automatic download and quality
control data further reduce the potential for human error. Add
autoverification with Middleware for more safety and convenience. |
|
|
Sample loading of up to 150 samples
in five-position racks is continuous. Changeover of reagents is
automatic—no need for intervention. Pre-calibration of the
second lot occurs while the first lot is running. On the cobas c
501 analyzer, you can load the reagents, detergents, and diluents
during operation. |

Roche and Hitachi
engineered the cobas®
6000 analyzer series to be different
by design.
With adaptable modular components, our exclusive ECL technology,
and scalable hardware and software, Roche's second-generation
integrated analyzer gives your lab the flexibility you need for
control, even as your needs change. We've designed more value into
every square inch of an analyzer that is smaller and more efficient
than ever. |

link support |
|
Connectivity via cobas link enables a secure
gateway connection between the laboratory and Roche Diagnostics.
This connection brings you the advantage of the latest in remote
diagnostics, real-time service and support, efficient
troubleshooting, and anti-virus and application patching for
system protection. This secure gateway connection allows screen
sharing, automatic downloads of customer bulletins, calibration
and control target values, and software upgrades. Control features
facilitate your ability to comply with HIPAA regulations for
patient data security. cobas IT firewall is also available. |
|
 |
|
| Compact footprint for more
results per square foot |
|
The cobas® 6000
analyzer series, incorporating the cobas c 501 analyzer and
the cobas e 601 analyzer, requires only 33 square feet of
floor space, yet can handle up to 95% of your testing needs. |
|
 |
|
| ECL technology for accurate
results the first time |
|
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL), a
sophisticated technology used in Roche immunoassays, delivers
unmatched low-end sensitivity and broad dynamic range. The dual
measuring cells use an amplified signal to detect ultra-low
concentrations of analyte. By precisely controlling
electrically-initiated reactions, ECL technology virtually
eliminates unnecessary repeats and reruns, providing accurate
results the first time. |
|
 |
|
| Enhanced Intelligent Process
Management (EIPM) |
|
Analyzer software provides intelligent sample
routing, auto rerun, and dilutions based on user-defined or
default parameters to optimize TAT and throughput and to balance
the system workload in real time. |
|
 |
|
| Smart Track Rotor for balanced
workflows |
|
Consolidation of clinical chemistry and
immunoassay testing requires intelligent sample transportation and
processing. Smart sample processing built into the cobas®
6000 analyzer series balances the workload between the modules to
reduce turnaround time and make the analyzer fast and efficient.
The Smart Track Rotor immediately routes sample racks to the
appropriate analytical module for testing, including rerun or
reflexive testing. The rotor allows true STAT interrupt. Any of
the 20 positions of the Smart Track Rotor is freely definable for
STAT, calibration, or QC racks. Controls remain onboard for
improved efficiency. |
|
 |
|
| STAT Port for immediate
processing |
|
The true STAT interrupt capability of the cobas®
6000 analyzer series provides quicker turnaround time and
reporting for high-priority samples. Samples entering at the STAT
port go directly to the Smart Track Rotor for processing within 60
seconds of entry. |
|
 |
|
| Unique no-prep reagent concept
delivers greater convenience |
|
The cobas c packs and cobas e
packs are ready to use, eliminating hands-on time, and are common
to other Roche systems, reducing storage and inventory
requirements. Closed for protection against environmental
elements, the cobas c packs have self-sealing lids that
increase onboard stability. |
