Roche cobas® AmpliPrep instrument

The cobas® AmpliPrep instrument is intended for fully automated sample preparation and PCR set-up for routine PCR testing. It increases quality, safety and efficiency in your laboratory by replacing time-consuming and error-prone manual sample purification. Once samples, disposable, and reagents are loaded onto the System, no further manual step are required.

• Works in combination with the cobas® TaqMan® 48 Analyzer or cobas® TaqMan® Analyzer to automate sample preparation, amplification, and quantitation of RNA or DNA
• Maximizes throughput, simplifies workflow
• Sample processing unit minimizes cross contamination
• Pipetting integrity check ensures correct pipetting of samples and reagents: Minimizes risk of incorrect results due to insufficient volumes Clot detection reduces risk of incorrect results due to clotting or particles in the sample
• Automates the sample extraction process
• Bar coded reagents packaged in ready-to-use spill-proof cassettes with self-sealing caps for increased stability
• Provides integrated automated sample preparation for qualitative and quantitative molecular diagnostics
• Up to 72 samples and 4 different assays can be loaded onto the System at the same time
• Fully automated sample extraction and PCR set up
