System
(instrument and analyzer)
The cobas
®
4800 System is intended to be used as a
diagnostic or screening system providing sample
preparation, amplification and detection of specific
targets from human samples. It integrates fully automated
total nucleic acid isolation directly from primary and
secondary tubes, automated PCR setup, and real time
PCR.
Analyzer The cobas z 480 analyzer including dedicated software
for IVD use is a plate-based automated amplification and
detection system for nucleic acids. The analyzer is
intended to be used as an in-vitro diagnostic or screening
system providing real time PCR amplification and
detection for human samples within the system.
The cobas x 480 instrument and cobas z 480 analyzer
