March 2017—Abbott announced its Alinity ci-series instruments for clinical chemistry and immunoassay diagnostics have obtained the CE mark and are available in Europe and other countries that recognize the CE mark.

Offering a flexible, modular design, the Alinity c clinical chemistry system and the Alinity i immunoassay system can operate individually or as an integrated Alinity ci-series unit. In addition to greater capacity in a smaller footprint, the Alinity ci-series has a number of new features based on customer insights that include increased loading capacity for samples and tests and separate lanes to run urgent tests without interrupting lab workflow; continuous access to solutions and supplies, which gives labs the ability to reload solutions without pausing or stopping instruments or testing cycles for prolonged periods of time; solution bottles designed to work like a lock and key to ensure the right solutions can only be inserted into the right location; and an intuitive menu design and user-friendly interface.

Abbott will launch clinical chemistry and immunoassay tests for the Alinity ci-series in phases, with a complete menu of tests available within a year of launch.

Abbott also announced its Alinity s system for blood and plasma screening received the CE mark. This testing solution is designed to screen blood and plasma faster and more efficiently within a smaller footprint than Abbott’s current systems. New features of the Alinity s system aim to improve centers’ abilities to track all activities and actions associated with the testing and processing of each donation in accordance with relevant legislation and requirements and include the capacity to run up to 600 tests per hour. The system provides a minimum of three hours’ walkaway time, the ability to continuously load and unload samples and supplies without pausing or stopping the system, and an intuitive software interface, menu design, and sample loading layout shared with other Alinity instruments.
