How the Abbott Architect ci8200 runs chemistry and immunoassay together
The ci8200 joins an Architect c8000 and an Architect i2000SR under one System Control Center, so your techs run both from one screen. Samples load through the Robotic Sample Handler or the sample carousel. Abbott uses identical technology, reagents and assay protocols across the Architect family, so results stay equivalent from one Architect system to the next.
The c8000 chemistry side
Run up to 1,200 photometric, turbidimetric and ICT electrolyte tests an hour from up to 121 refrigerated reagent positions.
Measure sodium, potassium and chloride on the ICT module, which Abbott rates at 60,000 determinations.
Extend the linear range of enzyme assays with FlexRate, and let the analyzer dilute out-of-range samples automatically.
Measure hemolysis, icterus and lipemia indices on chemistry samples.
Run alternative reagents on certain chemistry tests where your methods allow.
The i2000SR immunoassay side
Run up to 200 chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) tests an hour with Abbott's CHEMIFLEX detection.
Keep 25 refrigerated reagent positions loaded with liquid, ready-to-use reagents that stay stable onboard for 14 to 30 days.
Calibrate with each new reagent lot, or when controls fall out of range.
Run thyroid, fertility, cardiac and infectious disease assays from Abbott's Architect immunoassay menu on serum, plasma, whole blood and urine.
Across the whole system
Load 365 samples, with 35 priority positions held for STAT work.
Use primary tubes 72 to 102 mm tall and 9.6 to 16.1 mm wide, or sample cups with a 50 µL dead volume.
Catch clots and bubbles at aspiration on both analyzers.
Send results to your LIS over a bidirectional RS-232 interface with host query, and keep 50,000 results onboard.
Ask for the list of chemistry and immunoassay tests run on the ci8200 we have in stock, and check it against your menu.
Architect ci8200 throughput compared with the ci4100 and Alinity ci
The ci8200 runs 500 more tests per hour than the Architect ci4100 and 150 fewer than the Alinity ci. It also takes the most floor space of the three, about 43.2 sq ft against 27.5 for the ci4100 and 25.1 for the Alinity ci.
check_circleChoose the ci8200 when you need up to 1,200 chemistry and 200 immunoassay tests an hour, a 365-sample load and room for a fairly wide system (127 inches wide).
check_circleChoose the ci4100 when 800 chemistry and 100 immunoassay tests an hour cover your volume and your floor space is tighter.
check_circleChoose the Alinity ci when you want Abbott's current platform at up to 1,550 tests an hour on about 25 sq ft, with the option to add modules later.
The chemistry rating counts each sodium, potassium and chloride result from the ICT module as a separate test, so your real hourly output depends on how much of your menu is electrolytes.

Abbott Architect ci8200 price: new, used or refurbished
Abbott quotes new ci8200 systems by contract, often as part of a reagent agreement that builds the instrument cost into each test you run. Diamond prices every refurbished ci8200 individually. Whatever the configuration, you pay up to 70% less than new and the system is yours.
Two analyzers means two histories to check. Before you weigh a used ci8200's asking price against a refurbished one, add what it will take to get both analyzers reporting patient results.
What to ask about a used ci8200
What year was teach module manufactured?
Were both analyzers decontaminated, and is there documentation?
Which wear parts were replaced on each analyzer, and when?
Do both analyzers pass calibration and multi-level QC now, and can you review the data?
What software version is the system running?
How many determinations remain on the chemistry analyzer’s ICT module?
Who installs the system, programs your assays and verifies them?
Who services it after go-live, and at what cost?
Every refurbished ci8200 from Diamond is decontaminated, rebuilt with new wear parts on both analyzers, calibrated and QC-validated before it leaves our facility. Our engineers then install it and verify your assays in your lab.
What sets the price of your ci8200
The year of manufacture.
Whether you need the complete system or one analyzer to pair with yours.
Installation, assay programming and verification for chemistry and immunoassay.
Operator training.
The service plan you choose.
Freight and rigging for two analyzers.
The trade-in value of the analyzers you're retiring.
Why buy a refurbished ci8200 instead of new?
paymentsA lower capital cost. Pay up to 70% less for a two-analyzer system.
check_circleOnly the half you're missing. Add to the Architect analyzer you already own.
check_circleOwnership. Own the system outright rather than paying for it inside reagent pricing, and choose who services it.
check_circleResults that match your Architect fleet. A refurbished ci8200 runs the same Abbott reagents and assay protocols as a new one, and we supply the reagents and consumables.
handymanLess waste. Rebuilding two analyzers keeps them in service and out of landfill, and uses less energy and raw material than manufacturing new ones.
Get your ci8200 quote
Send us the Architect analyzers you already own, your daily chemistry and immunoassay volumes and your go-live date, and we'll quote the configurations that fit. We'll show the figure as a monthly payment too, from $0 down with low introductory payments, so you can set it against a used system or a reagent agreement.
