Abbott ARCHITECT C4000 Analyzers

high performance clinical chemistry diagnostic system
capable of quantifying selected analytes in biological fluids
The system consists of the c4000 Processing Module
the Robotic Sample Handler (RSH)
and a separate System Control Center (SCC)
for initiating and monitoring operations
The system can be configured with
up to 220 different assays including Ion
Selective Electrode (ISE) analysis of sodium
potassium, and chloride with
up to 90 different cartridges onboard
It can process samples at 400 tests/hour
without ICTs and a maximum throughput of
600 tests/hour when running both photometric
and ICT tests (9 second system cycle)
Individual assay time is a maximum of 10.5 minutes for
photometric tests and 4 minutes for ICT tests
