DESCRIPTION

About the product

The cobas e 402 analytical unit is Roche Diagnostics’ fully automated analyzer for immunology tests. According to Roche’s product description, the instrument is designed for quantitative and qualitative in vitro tests, including cobas e flow tests, and is used for in vitro diagnostic purposes only. The unit is also part of Roche’s cobas pure integrated solutions system as the immunochemistry unit. For general information on the brand, the Roche Diagnostics page can be consulted.

System features

Measurement is based on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technology for heterogeneous immunoassays. Roche reports that the unit runs up to 120 tests per hour and states that actual throughput varies with the test mix requested per sample. The instrument has 28 reagent positions. Reagent packs are recognized by RFID. Roche states that the unit occupies 1.2 square meters.
