Product description
Ortho VITROS® Chemistry, Immunoassay, and Integrated systems reduce potential for error and the need for repeat testing to increase first pass yield, decrease costs, and improve turnaround time.
Key differentiators:
- VITROS® Systems do not require water, reducing costs and waste disposal while remaining environmentally friendly.
- 96.5% first pass yield (delivering results without user intervention) – the highest in the industry.
- VITROS® XT Solutions have an up to 25% faster turnaround time* for common test panels compared to competitive systems.
- Low sample volume per test (2-80 µl).
- New VITROS® XT analyzers deliver up to 40% higher throughput for greater lab efficiency.
- Comprehensive testing menu including SARS-CoV-2 IgG and Total antibody, HIV combo, B·R·A·H·M·S Procalcitonin, Immunosuppressive drugs, and Drugs of abuse.
*TAT to complete the panel of these tests: Glucose, Calcium, Albumin, Total Protein, Sodium, Potassium, CO2, Chloride, BUN, Creatinine, ALP, ALT, AST, Bilirubin.
Every day, labs like yours face the challenge of improving patient care while balancing staffing, compliance, and total operating cost containment. With proven technologies and a comprehensive chemistry menu for both routine and specialty testing, the VITROS® 4600 System is designed to help you confidently and efficiently deliver chemistry results to the physicians and patients who depend on you.
Features and benefits
Improve results quality, evaluation, and trending
Increase confidence in result quality by eliminating carryover with the system’s disposable, single-use tip design. And improve result evaluation and trending ability within peer groups with configurable assay ranges that account for 7 demographic attributes for greater specificity.
Boost productivity while containing costs
Improve your productivity—and your budget—predictably with extended calibration times, uninterrupted walkaway operation, and less required maintenance. At the same time, tailor the instrument to your lab’s workflow with adjustable thresholds for onboard inventories, calibration expirations, and diluent volumes/expirations.
Simplify operations and streamline training and resources
Simplify the operation of your lab, streamline operator training, and boost workflow—while better managing costs—with the VITROS® x600 Systems’ standardized User Interface. The interface also improves sample integrity traceability, while the editable maintenance log simplifies record keeping, allowing maintenance steps to be recorded directly on the system and reviewed or printed at the touch of a button.
Maximize uptime and help to ensure continued 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.
