Roche cobas c 111
Clinical chemistry analyser
The chemistry bench runs the panels most people arrive for: glucose and HbA1c, the lipid profile, liver and renal function, uric acid and electrolytes. Every analyser is calibrated and quality-controlled before patient samples are run each day, and an out-of-range control stops the run rather than being noted and worked around.
