# The cobas Liat System is a next-generation real-time PCR system designed for on-demand STAT testing, enabling use at satellite locations within your institution# The system includes a small benchtop analyzer safeguarded by an extensive array of instrument controls, and assay tubes tailor-made for specific targets# The cobas Liat System automates the entire testing process, from sample prep to amplification to real-time detection# Each cobas Liat assay tube contains all assay reagents prepared in isolated segments# The cobas Liat Analyzer automates all nucleic acid testing processes, including reagent preparation, target enrichment, inhibitor removal, nucleic acid extraction, amplification and real-time detection# The analyzer compresses the assay tube to selectively release reagents from tube segments, moves the sample from one segment to another, and controls reaction conditions at different temperatures
