Absolute automation of molecular testing

Laboratories need to adjust to an increasingly pressurized landscape, and automation is their answer for sustainability. 
 

At a time when labs want to eliminate repetitive and mundane tasks while increasing test speed and volume, comes a stark realization—automation is no longer optional. It helps labs do more with less, and while some gains are financial, others are much more valuable. 

Increases in walkaway time elevate employee engagement and help lower labor costs by optimizing the use of highly trained staff members. Automation can also simplify operations, minimize repetitive motion injuries, drive higher quality output, and open the door for integrated testing.

These advanced systems are built for efficiency:

  • Automated onboard storage and temperature-controlled environment maintains inventory of consumables and enables ready-access reagents
  • Radio-frequency identification (RFID) and barcodes ensure full traceability from samples in to results out
  • Uni- and bi-directional LIS interface simplifies order and result handling
Accelerate speed and efficiency with pre-analytics

Improve workflows and reduce the risk of errors with unrivaled efficiency. The fully automated cobas® prime Pre-analytical System consolidates, integrates and standardizes the pre-analytical process to streamline and simplify your lab operation.

The system will continuously load—without presorting—multiple molecular sample types for multiple tests into a universal tray and perform pre-analytical processing before transferring the samples to the analyzer for testing.
