Own the future of molecular testing
Designed for high throughput applications such as viral load IVD monitoring, blood screening, microbiology testing and women’s health, the cobas® 6800 can run up to 384 tests in an 8-hour shift—1,536 tests in 24 hours—with only 3 user interactions per run and up to 8 hours of walk-away time.*
*May vary based on workflow demands.
High throughput and maximum walk-away time
Transform your testing experience
Offering highly efficient workflows from sample processing to result interpretation, the cobas® 6800 System puts the future of molecular testing in your hands. Our broad assay menu is held to the rigorous performance standards you expect from Roche, and our real-time PCR technology delivers reliable results every time.
Meet the growing needs of your lab
A fully integrated and automated system for sample preparation and real-time PCR, the cobas® 6800 System is designed to be readily integrated into the laboratory workflow from pre-analytic to post-analytic solutions.
Unparalleled performance
Rapidly complete your daily testing requirements when you generate trusted, reproducible results.
- Fastest time to result—up to 96 tests in about 3 hours
- Unprecedented throughput—up to 384* tests in an 8-hour shift
- Minimal hands-on time—only two user interactions
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
