Features
Provides the fastest, most advanced real-time PCR amplification and detection available.
Modular system: comprises both the COBAS X 480 (sample preparation) and the COBAS Z 480
(amplification and detection).
Eliminates reagent preparation, manual barcode scanning and data entry.
Requires minimal maintenance; No post-run decontamination needed.
Does not permit manual adjustment of clinical cutoffs, validating test performance.
Total aspirate and dispense monitoring (TADM) verify sample transfer in real time.
Utilizes AmpErase enzyme which destroys virtually all previously generated amplicon, preventing
carryover.
Utilizes internal control through the entire process which minimizes the risk of false negatives.
Expandable assay menu covering infectious diseases, microbiology and genomics/ oncology;
choice machine for detecting Corona and Lassa viruses.
Throughput: 384 samples per day Allows handling of multiple tube types
