ViroGates A/S announced that it has completed the development and regulatory approval (CE-IVD in Europe) of its suPARnostic® TurbiLatex product for the Roche instrument series cobas® Pure and cobas® Pro. The instruments are the two most recent from the global market leader Roche Diagnostics. The systems are different in size and have throughput ranges of approximately 500 and 1000 per hour respectively.

They are supposed to cover immunochemistry analysis in the mid- to large-volume segments for Roche Diagnostics. Both systems are fully automated requiring no manual handling from the blood sampling until results are processed and are already being installed in various hospitals. The approval of suPARnostic® TurbiLatex for the Roche Pure® and Pro® systems complements the previous approvals for the other Roche systems cobas® 6000 and 8000 series, as well as product series from other instrument providers such as Abbott, Siemens Healthineers and Beckman Coulter.

The suPARnostic® TurbiLatex product is a pivotal element in ViroGates' European expansion strategy, focusing on the acute care market.
