Deliver Cardiac Results to Doctors in Half the Time

Roche has introduced a complete battery of STAT immunoassays for cardiac biomarker testing on the cobas 6000 analyser series, an integrated system designed for diagnostic labs with medium testing volumes. With a nine-minute duration, the assays are faster than any other cardiac immunoassay tests currently available on an integrated platform and enable labs to deliver results to doctors treating cardiac patients in about half the time of standard Roche tests.

The new nine-minute STAT immunoassay tests include troponin T, CK-MB, myoglobin and NT-proBNP and run on the cobas e 601 analyser, part of the cobas 6000 analyser series, an integrated platform that offers both clinical chemistry and immunoassay testing. The STAT tests are virtually equivalent to Roche's 18-minute tests in performance, precision and sensitivity.
