Laboratory evaluation of the COBAS MIRA S random access analyser

The random access analyser COBAS MIRA S (Roche Diagnostics) was evaluated for two months. The instrument is a computer-controlled discrete analyser which can be run in a combination profile and single test mode. This instrument has special features, including an automatic cuvette segment changer, a reagent rack cooling system, an external keyboard and monitor, as well as a bar-code facility for...

Assessment of the Cobas Bio centrifugal analyser

The Cobas Bio (Roche) is a discrete spectrometric centrifugal analyser which is capable of monitoring :29 reaction cuvettes. The dispensing and analysing systems are contained within one unit and an Intel 8080A microprocessor controls the total system. Two Hamilton syringes are used to pipette samples and reagents. The sample and reagent syringes have nominal capacities of 100 and 400 #1 respec...

A short evaluation of a new haematological analyser: the Cobas Argos 5 Diff.

In order to evaluate the Cobas Argos 5 Diff, a five-part differential haematological analyser, we performed a comparative study using our current analyser, the Toa E-5000, and the manual leukocyte differential. Samples (n = 593) were collected from various departments in our hospital and were tested on both Cobas Argos 5 Diff and Toa E-5000. Regression lines were calculated for all standard hae...
