The ARCHITECT c4000 clinical chemistry analyzer demonstrates high-quality testing results and rapid STAT turnaround time. The ARCHITECT c4000 enhances laboratory productivity and provides users high confidence in clinical results.

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.



True Family Commonality
  • Identical technology, reagents and assay protocols
  • Identical software that is intuitive to operate
  • Universal ARCHITECT sample carrier

The benefits: equivalent patient results across all ARCHITECT Systems and a simple, consistent user experience.


Enhanced System and Assay Dynamics
  • FlexRate extends the linear ranges of enzyme assays for better first-time results, fewer reruns.
  • Integrated Chip Technology (ICT) module for electrolytes is small, long-lasting and easy to maintain(60,000 determinations).
  • Maximum throughput of up to 800 chemistry tests per hour.
  • Pressure differential technology enables detection of clots, bubbles and insufficient sample volume to reduce analytical error.

The benefits: certainty and confidence in the clinical results.


Integration Without Compromise
  • Seamless integration of clinical chemistry and immunoassay with the i1000sr
  • Optimized workflow with one tube for both chemistry and immunoassay testing
  • Robotic Sample Handler (RSH) allows the lab to prioritize tests
  • Large reagent capacity of approximately 55 kits onboard
  • SmartWash technology effectively controls sample-to-sample carryover (<0.1 ppm tube to tube)

The benefits: effectively handle complex workloads with a single operator on a single platform.
