COBAS TaqMan 48 Instrument

Powerful. Flexible. Simple.

The COBAS TaqMan 48 instrument is a fully automated, closed-tube system that makes molecular testing practical for everyday lab use. This real-time PCR analyzer is compact and robust with a broad linear range, and integrates easily into your lab.

Features and benefits Real-time TaqMan PCR methodology provides unmatched accuracy, superior linear range, and the potential to run one test for quantitative and qualitative requirements Run sizes of 6 to 48 samples provide flexibility and maximum efficiency Two independently operating thermal cyclers with approximate run times of 90 to 120 minutes increases workflow flexibility and minimizes the need for multiple platforms AMPLILINK software is Windows driven for easy navigation, and provides the security of positive sample ID throughout the run, as well as enhanced LIS capabilities The utility channel adds flexibility and cost effectiveness by allowing the laboratory to run IVD and user-defined assays on one fast, easy, and accurate platform
