How the Abbott Alinity ci analyzer runs chemistry and immunoassay together
The Alinity ci puts two processing modules side by side under one System Control Module. The Alinity c side measures photometric chemistry plus sodium, potassium and chloride. The Alinity i side runs chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassays (CMIA) with Abbott's CHEMIFLEX detection.

Across the whole system
Abbott Alinity ci throughput. How many tests per hour?
Each module has its own reagent and sample carousels and pipettors, so chemistry and immunoassay work run in parallel.
- Chemistry output depends on your electrolyte share. Photometric assays run at up to 900 tests an hour. The ICT module makes up the rest of the 1,350 rating, because each sodium, potassium and chloride result counts as a test.
- Immunoassay output tops out at 200 tests an hour per module. If your immunoassay volume outgrows one Alinity i, a second module doubles that capacity.
- Continuous loading keeps both modules testing while your techs restock reagents and supplies.
Abbott rates the Alinity ci at up to 665 tests an hour per square meter of floor. The Architect ci8200 runs up to 1,400 tests an hour across two units 79 and 61 inches wide. The Alinity ci runs up to 1,550 in a system 78 inches wide.
One System Control Module runs up to four Alinity modules, and there are up to 14 configurations. Adding a second chemistry module to make an Alinity cic and raises capacity to 2,900 tests an hour.
| Configuration | Modules | Up to (tests/hour) |
|---|---|---|
| Alinity ci | One Alinity c and one Alinity i | 1,550 |
| Chemistry share of an Alinity ci | Alinity c | 1,350 (900 photometric) |
| Immunoassay share of an Alinity ci | Alinity i | 200 |
| Alinity cic | Two Alinity c and one Alinity i | 2,900 |
| Architect ci8200, for comparison | Architect c8000 and i2000SR | 1,400 |
Configure your Alinity ci around the analyzers you already run
Every Alinity ci starts with one Alinity c and one Alinity i on a single System Control Module. You can build out to four modules as your volumes change.
Complete Alinity ci. We supply both modules and the System Control Module, rebuilt and installed together.
Your Alinity c plus a refurbished Alinity i. Keep the chemistry analyzer your staff already run, and add immunoassay without replacing it.
Your Alinity i plus a refurbished Alinity c. Bring chemistry and electrolytes onto the immunoassay system you already own.

Which labs buy a refurbished Abbott Alinity ci?
These labs get the most from a refurbished ci.
Hospital core labs consolidating two analyzers. Move chemistry, electrolytes and immunoassay onto one system run from one screen, and free up the floor the second analyzer took.
Labs moving off Architect ci4100 or ci8200. Abbott built Alinity assays on its Architect assay technology, so results compare across the platforms. A five-year review of QC data found stable high-sensitivity troponin I performance on Architect ci4100, Architect i2000SR and Alinity ci analyzers.
Labs that already own half the system. Add the module you're missing to your existing Alinity analyzer and your staff keep the software and screens they know.
Labs with heavy ED and cardiac volume. Run STAT high-sensitivity troponin I and NT-proBNP on the immunoassay side while the chemistry side handles metabolic panels, with fixed STAT positions for urgent samples.
Labs short on space. Run up to more chemistry and immunoassay tests an hour in a smaller footprint.
Abbott Alinity ci price. New vs. refurbished
Abbott quotes new Alinity ci systems privately, contract by contract, and often ties the instrument to a reagent agreement that folds its cost into what you pay per test. We price each refurbished Alinity ci individually, because every module differs in year of manufacture and configuration. Whatever you buy, you pay up to 70% less than new and the system belongs to you.
What goes into your Alinity ci quote
- The year of manufacture of each module.
- Whether you need the complete system or one module to pair with yours.
- The configuration, from a standard ci to a larger ci-series system.
- Installation, assay programming and verification for both chemistry and immunoassay.
- Operator training.
- The service plan you pick.
- Freight and rigging for two modules.
- The trade-in value of the analyzers you're retiring.

Frequently asked questions about the Abbott Alinity ci
How many tests per hour does the Abbott Alinity ci run?
Up to 1,550 tests an hour, split between up to 1,350 on the chemistry module and up to 200 on the immunoassay module.
How much does an Abbott Alinity ci cost?
Abbott quotes new systems privately, by contract. We price each refurbished Alinity ci individually, based on each module's year of manufacture, whether you need both modules, the configuration and the services you add. It runs up to 70% below new.
What's the difference between the Alinity c, Alinity i and Alinity ci?
The Alinity c is the chemistry module, and the Alinity i is the immunoassay module. The Alinity ci joins one of each under a single System Control Module.
I already own an Alinity c. Can you turn it into an Alinity ci?
Yes. We pair a refurbished Alinity i with your Alinity c and install them together as a ci. If you own an Alinity i, we add a refurbished Alinity c instead.
How does the Alinity ci compare with the Architect ci8200?
The ci8200 runs up to 1,400 tests an hour across two units 79 and 61 inches wide. The Alinity ci runs up to 1,550 in a system 78 inches wide, and Abbott built Alinity assays on its Architect assay technology, so results compare across both.
What immunoassay tests run on the Alinity ci?
Abbott's Alinity i menu covers cardiac, thyroid, fertility, oncology, hepatitis, retrovirus, therapeutic drug monitoring and transplant testing, including STAT high-sensitivity troponin I and NT-proBNP. Ask us for the list of tests run on the unit in stock.
Does biotin interfere with Alinity i immunoassays?
Abbott designs its Alinity i assays without a streptavidin capture step, which keeps biotin from interfering with results.
What power and water does the Alinity ci need?
Each processing module needs its own 180 to 264 V, 16 A supply, and the System Control Module runs on 90 to 264 V. Water use averages about 37 L (9.8 gal) an hour, and waste goes to a drain or onboard collection.
