Sparta Community Hospital has announced the installation of a new laboratory analyzer, the Roche Cobas Pure Integrated Solution. The hospital states that this equipment will improve laboratory operations by delivering faster and more accurate test results.

The Roche Cobas Pure is designed to process a wide range of laboratory tests efficiently. According to Sparta Community Hospital, this system enables healthcare providers to make decisions with increased confidence due to its precision and speed.

For patients in rural communities, the addition of the analyzer means shorter wait times for lab results and more reliable diagnoses. More tests can now be performed locally, reducing the need to send samples elsewhere. The analyzer is also available 24 hours a day, ensuring timely results at any time.

Christy Otten, MBA, BSMLS, Laboratory Manager at Sparta Community Hospital, said: “This investment is about more than technology — it’s about improving patient care. With the Cobas Pure system, we can provide quicker turnaround, more reliable results, and an even higher standard of service for the patients we serve.”

Sparta Community Hospital operates a full-service laboratory staffed by trained professionals under the supervision of a board-certified pathologist. More information about their services is available on their website.
