Improvements when switching Freelite assays from Roche cobas 8000 to Optilite analyzer
5 Mar 2026Clinical laboratories managing serum-free light chain (sFLC) testing often face pressure to reduce turnaround times, minimize manual interventions, and control reagent use. This case study explores the impact of moving Freelite® assays from the Roche cobas™ 8000 to the Optilite® analyzer, assessing 306 routine specimens and 48 elevated FLC samples. The results demonstrate faster workflows, meaningful reagent savings, and the complete removal of manual dilutions to streamline sFLC testing while reducing error‑prone steps.

HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types. Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.Human PlasmaHuman plasma is the liquid component of blood, which carries blood components - nutrients, hormones, proteins, and waste - throughout the body. Plasma-based studies provide insights into biomarkers, immune responses, and disease mechanisms. Compare plasma handling tools and systems in our peer-reviewed product directory.Multiple Myeloma
