Roche has introduced a complete battery of STAT immunoassays for cardiac biomarker testing on the cobas 6000 analyser series, designed for diagnostic labs with medium testing volumes.
With a 9min duration, the assays are said to be 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 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 clinical chemistry and immunoassay testing.
The STAT tests are virtually equivalent to Roche's 18min tests in performance, precision and sensitivity.
