Instrument has great potential but I couldn't recommend it.
Application Area:Chemistry analyzer
"The instrument has several features that are a step up from the Architects. Calibrations are installed much more efficiently. Has the capability of onboard storage. Reagent load is on demand. Instrument isn't as robust as the Architect. RSM transport arm needs a complete redesign. The instrument is not adequate for a high output hospital. Stays down from more than it runs."

Abbot learned from their mistakes with the Architects.
Application Area:Clinical Chemistry
"Abbott learned a lot from their mistakes with the Architect ci analyzers. While they did not change much with their reagent ingredients, they did change the analyzer to have a better interface and to make mistakes less likely. You can now share reagents on multiple analyzers, maint is shorter, they utilize barcodes more instead of manually putting them in, onboard QC, and have better service options. "

Middle of the road instrumentation.
Application Area:Clinical laboratory
"Results are reliable and reproducible. The pricing is a little high, the electrode module expires long before the number of uses, added expense. When problems arise it is not easily resolved. Instruments are new, less than one year but have had several issues where parts had to be replaced."

Abbott failed with the Alinity.
Application Area:Chemistry analyzer
"Instrument has issues with sodium, reporting low bias. Company unable to resolve. Unable to use multiple barcodes to one QC configuration. Have to manually order QC when performing correlations. Excessive amount of maintenance. A lot of hardware failures. Technical support is not educated about the instruments. The Architects are much more vigorous and more productive. Alinity was a step back for Abbott. Our staff prefers Architect to the Alinity."

Low reproducibility and lots of errors.
Application Area:Clinical chemistry
"The results are not reproducible. One has to calibrate and measure controls several times until it "somehow" works. The instrument gives errors every day or every 2-3 days. A technician has to be called about once a week. The instrument's modules either enter Pause or stop suddenly and then it takes time to start them again. The i module doesn't have enough space for reagents and it is overwhelming to monitor when a spot is empty, so that one can place a needed reagent cassette inside. The instrument cannot work fully loaded, because it starts giving errors. As of yesterday, one loading spot on the c module gives errors, so we don't use it. That means that no rack can be placed on that left spot. Abbott could do better on the design and on the reproducibility and reliability of this instrument."

Allows us to work efficiently and productively
Application Area:Clinical testing
"Very easy to use and saves a lot of time on managing the instrument. Error proof design really puts a lot of unnecessary worry of making mistakes behind us and allows us to work efficiently and productively"
In the diagnostics industry, greater speed and testing productivity have historically come at the high price of a larger instrument footprint. 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.
The Alinity systems for clinical chemistry and immunoassay testing will reduce the size of Abbott’s current diagnostics systems by half and will help laboratory professionals:
