Basel, 24 September 2024 - Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today the launch of the cobas® Respiratory flex test, the first to use Roche's novel and proprietary TAGS (Temperature-Activated Generation of Signal) technology. TAGS technology, developed by Roche scientists, uses multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, combined with colour, temperature and data processing, to identify as many as 15 pathogens in a single PCR test. Typically, PCR tests on a high throughput analyser are able to identify four results in a single test - TAGS technology makes it possible to increase this number to fifteen. This will enable syndromic panel testing on the high throughput molecular diagnostic analysers cobas® 5800, 6800 and 8800, which is especially important when a common group of symptoms can be related to more than one pathogen.
