About the product
cobas pure integrated solutions is Roche Diagnostics’ laboratory solution that combines clinical chemistry, immunoassay and ion-selective electrode (ISE) tests in a single system. According to Roche, the system consists of a sample supply unit (SSU) and up to two analytical units. Three configurations are offered, and the system occupies an area of about 2 square meters. For brand information, the Roche Diagnostics page can be consulted.
System features
The sample supply unit allows continuous loading and unloading of up to 50 samples at a time. The unit has an integrated barcode reader and a separate port for STAT samples. The analytical units form the system’s two separate measurement areas: the cobas c 303 for clinical chemistry and ISE, and the cobas e 402 for immunochemistry.
