Ortho Clinical Diagnostics VITROS® 3600 Immunodiagnostic System

Today’s laboratories require accurate, precise, fast, and nonstop testing. Designing an immunoassay system to deliver on these needs takes a level of understanding that only comes from firsthand experience. Based on the study, input, and feedback of a diverse group of laboratories from around the world, the VITROS® 3600 System is built to handle peak testing workloads and maximize turnaround and system walk-away times.

Reduce errors and increase result quality
Reduce error potential and increase result quality with proven, easy-to-use, self-monitoring VITROS® technologies. And address sample and reagent carryover and contamination concerns with single-use tips for sample and reagent metering that automatically verifies aspiration and dispense for clots, short samples, bubbles, and high and low fluid viscosity to avoid erroneous results.

Increase productivity to meet increased demand
Do more with less with a world-class immunoassay menu on a high-productivity platform. Minimize the need for operator interventions with an onboard capacity of 31 reagent packs and 3 bar-coded signal reagent packs. Improve your lab’s capacity to address peak workloads with productivity of up to 189 tests per hour¹, a dedicated STAT lane for urgent and critical samples, and the ability to change reagents, consumables, and waste on the fly.

Streamline and standardize operations and workflow
Streamline your lab’s operations with standardization across VITROS® Systems and the flexibility to automate with a standardized, point-in-space interface to enGen™ Laboratory Automation System. Prioritize workload by “looking ahead” for up to 50 samples with Intelligent Sample Management. And save resources with a system that uses no water and minimizes waste.

Maximize uptime and help to ensure consistent support
Resolve technical issues quickly with highly secure, real-time, 2-way communication between your system and our support teams. And take advantage of additional process consulting and laboratory design services, as well as call centers, proactive monitoring, and experienced field engineers to improve efficiency.

Train operators quickly and effectively
Get your staff up to speed quickly and effectively with start-up training and ongoing education. Our training programs have received an outstanding satisfaction rating and feature classroom, onsite, and online options to suit your needs.
