Introduction
The Architect c4000 is an innovative
solution that elevates the capabilities of
clinical laboratories, offering advanced
features and technologies. This article
explores the key features, applications,
and benefits of the Architect c4000
clinical in the context of clinical
diagnostics.
Introduction
The Architect c4000 is a clinical
chemistry analyzer that can perform
various laboratory tests such
as chemistry, immunoassay, and serology.
It is designed to manage high-volume and
complex workloads while providing high-
quality testing results and rapid STAT
turnaround time.
 Features
         The ARCHITECT c4000 offers a
maximum throughput of up to 800 tests per
hour. Featuring a load-up capacity of 100
samples with 35 priority positions, the
ARCHITECT c4000 allows for up to 90
refrigerated reagent positions on board, plus
Integrated Chip Technology (Na+, K+ and
Cl-).

For in vitro diagnostic use only.
