Roche cobas® integra 400 plus

The cobas® integra 400 plus analyzer is a medium-sized bench-top analyzer. Due to the integration of 4 measuring principles (photometry, turbidimetry, ISE, fluorescence polarimetry), it is the ideal instrument for consolidating testing in low-workload laboratories or specialized testing in medium volume sites.
 

• On-screen inventory management, immediate STAT testing 24 hours a day
• Quality control programs monitor precision and accuracy to ensure reliable results
• System: Random and continuous access, sample selective analyzer, 36 tests onboard, 4 measuring principles: Absorbance photometry (Enzymes and substrates), Turbidimetry (Specific proteins, drugs of abuse), Fluorescence polarimetry (Therapeutic drugs, thyroid tests), Ion-selective electrode potentiometry (Na+, K+, Cl-and Li+)
• Test throughput: Up to 400 tests/hr (including ISE)
• Sample types: Serum, plasma, urine, CSF, hemolysate and whole blood (HbA1c)
