Description
VITROS® 5600 Integrated System
Laboratories are constantly under pressure to produce faster, higher-quality results, even under increased demands. The VITROS® 5600 is an integrated system that brings together 5 proven technologies designed to remove the obstacles to reducing turnaround time and increasing your ability to provide meaningful results.
Improve operations with a one-tube-in, one-tube-out workflow
Centralize sample loading and prioritize up to 50 samples1 to optimize workflow, with a system that processes both chemistry and immunoassay samples simultaneously. And eliminate the need to manually move samples between modules or create aliquots.
Technologies
VITROS® MicroSlide Technology
How it works: 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® MicroWell Technology
How it works: VITROS® MicroWell Technology maximizes binding capacities with a unique coating process. And proprietary Enhanced Chemiluminesce Detection Technology provides wide dynamic ranges and exceptional immunoassay precision and accuracy across multiple disease states. This means fewer unnecessary dilutions, repeats, and redraws—delivering better patient care and greater laboratory efficiencies.
What it offers your lab:
- Excellent assay sensitivity and precision
- Capability for small sample volumes
- Minimal waste with a small MicroWell
- Enhanced Chemiluminescent Detection Technology that delivers1,2:
- Improved signal (light) output, even at low analyte concentrations, for better detection*
- Broad dynamic range*
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
COVID-19
Now more than ever, we see the critical role the lab and their staff play in helping clinicians quickly and accurately diagnose and triage patients within the overburdened hospitals during this pandemic.
For patients afflicted with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, information provided by the lab can help assess the severity of the infection and monitor therapeutic interventions. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests can help evaluate the body’s immune response to the disease.
