Description
VITROS® 4600 Chemistry System
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.
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.
Throughput:
+ Maximum theoretical throughput is up to 845 tests per hour
+ Actual throughput will vary by test mix and sample workflow

Technologies
VITROS® MicroSlide Technology
VITROS® MicroSlide Technology offers an entire integrated test environment on a thin piece of film. Spreading, masking, scavenger, and reagent layers are discretely combined on one postage-stamp-sized slide to produce first-class precision and accuracy. When plasma, serum, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid come into contact with these dry chemical layers, a spectral reaction occurs, which can be measured by the system. This layered dry slide technology enables separate reaction domains—maximizing each step for exceptional assay performance.
What it offers your lab:
- Excellent assay performance while reducing costs
- High-quality results in diverse patient settings
- Proven methodologies referenced to industry standards, including:
- Wide dynamic ranges
- Small sample size
- Reduced substance interference
- 95% reportable results efficiency1
- Minimal operator interventions
- Maximum ease of use
- Consistent results over time and across the world
- No reagent preparation or waste
- No water, plumbing, or drains
- No electrodes to maintain
- No pumps or tubing
- Up to 12–24 month shelf life
- Exceptional calibration stability1
- Minimal storage space
VITROS® MicroTip Technology
How it works: VITROS® MicroTip Technology utilizes single-use disposable tips and closed reagent packs to eliminate the risk of sample carryover and reagent-to-reagent contamination, and to extend onboard reagent stability. It requires no drains, plumbing, fixed probes, or mixing assemblies to perform therapeutic and abused drug testing, specific proteins, and user-defined applications.
What it offers your lab:
- Liquid, ready-to-use reagents that need no preparation*
- Refrigerated storage to maximize on-system stability
- Reagent packs that are automatically opened and closed
- Limits contamination, evaporation, and reagent cross-talk
- Enhances reagent and calibration stability
- Helps ensure quality results
- Contains costs by reducing reagent waste
- Single-use sample and reagent tips to address carryover concerns
- Single-use reaction cuvettes for greater precision and accuracy
- *Except for caffeine reagents
- Offers 3-point cuvette read
- Detects bubbles and other imperfections
- Avoids erroneous result reporting
- Allows greater flexibility for setting up user-defined assays
VITROS® MicroSensor Technology
How it works: VITROS® MicroSensor Technology detects endogenous interferences and flags affected results without the use of reagents or extra consumables
What it offers your lab:
- Detection and flagging of results affected by common interferences (hemolysis, icterus, and turbidity)
- No reagents or additional sample volume requirements
- An analysis time of <1 second
- No impact on system workflow
VITROS® Intellicheck® Technology
How it works:
Based on proven, innovative, and patented technologies, including advanced processing features, VITROS® Intellicheck® Technology monitors, verifies, and documents diagnostic checks throughout sample and assay processing for accurate and efficient result reporting
What it offers your lab:
- SMART Metering featuring single-use tips and Save-the-Sample Clot Detection Management and bubble detection to avoid reporting erroneous results
- MicroSensor Technology that flags all results affected by common interferences with no reagents, additional sample volume, or impact on throughput
- IntelliReport™ that provides full traceability, operator notification, and real-time exception documentation
- Integrated process control that verifies the integrity of the sample processed and results reported
