VITROS 4600® Product brochure

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.

Benefits & Features

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.
