The cobas® Liat System is a fast, easy-to-use, compact PCR system designed for on-demand testing in point-of-care* settings such as physician clinics, pharmacy, and hospital and satellite laboratories.
The system includes the cobas® Liat Analyzer--a small, benchtop analyzer safeguarded by an extensive array of instrument controls, plus a growing portfolio of assays, including cobas®Influenza A/B, cobas® Influenza A/B and RSV, and cobas® Strep A. Assays for other infectious diseases are in development.
Features:
- Small - The compact cobas® Liat benchtop analyzer is smaller than a shoebox and conveniently designed for space-challenged testing locations.
- Simple - The cobas® Liat System is fully-automated with touchscreen guided operation, requiring minimal training and hands-on time. Add nothing more than a patient sample.
- Swift - Sample to results in 20 minutes or less. Single assay runs allow time-sensitive testing and reporting.
- Secure - Sealed-tube design eliminates operator contact with reagents or other chemicals. Closed system with multiple controls reduce the potential for human error.
