With true family commonality and enhanced system and assay dynamics, the ARCHITECT family allows for integration without compromise.
Equivalent patient results
Identical technology, reagents and assay protocols generate patient results that are equivalent from system to system.
Identical software
ARCHITECT offers identical software across the entire family of instrumentation to streamline training and enhance ease of use.
Universal architect sample carrier
A universal sample carrier and common reagent cartridges are utilized across ARCHITECT systems.
The ARCHITECT c16000 offers high throughput to handle heavy workloads, plus advanced technology to provide confidence in all your results.
