The Cobas Roche 5 800 is the name of a new molecular biology device which has just been equipped with the laboratory of the CHOG (Hospital Center of Western Guyana). This machine was designed to generate reports of sexually transmitted infections, but not only.
Covid-19, HIV, search for the papillomavirus, the list is long. The Cobas Roche 5 800 will be able to carry out assessments of sexually transmitted infections, but also of other pathologies confirms in the letter from the ARS doctor Jean-François Carod, head of the laboratory department. “We could have carried out all these analyzes before, but this device will allow us to do very large series”.
This device was created to deal with epidemics in order to better respond to the very strong increase in requests for STI (sexually transmitted infections) assessments and their very high prevalence in the West.
The CHOG laboratory is the first to be equipped with this technology in the Antilles-Guyana. Western French Guiana is equipping itself with an extremely efficient tool to meet demand and cope with population growth.
