How the Siemens Atellica CI runs chemistry and immunoassay in one analyzer
The Atellica CI has separate chemistry and immunoassay engines that share no major components. A busy immunoassay run doesn't slow your chemistry, and the two sides work through samples at the same time.
scienceChemistry. Photometric and turbidimetric testing at up to 600 tests an hour, from one 70-position refrigerated reagent tray. Microvolume sampling gets more results from each aspiration.
scienceElectrolytes. The Integrated Multisensor Technology (IMT) module reports sodium, potassium and chloride from 25 µL of sample in 18 seconds, at up to 400 tests an hour.
scienceImmunoassay. Chemiluminescent testing at up to 120 tests an hour, with 20 primary and 20 ancillary refrigerated reagent positions that mix continuously. A separate wash ring runs a wash routine matched to each assay.
scienceFewer reagent changes and calibrations. Chemistry reagents stay onboard for up to six months and immunoassay reagents for up to three, depending on the assay. Calibration intervals run up to 200 days.
speedFast results on critical tests. More than 50 key assays report in under 14 minutes.
handymanLess daily maintenance. The analyzer runs its daily maintenance automatically with onboard cleaning consumables, and operator hands-on time is under five minutes a day.
check_circleThe same results as your other Atellica systems. The CI runs the same reagents, consumables and software as the Atellica CH 930 and Atellica IM, so a CI in a satellite lab reports results that match your core lab.
Open channels let you set up your own chemistry methods, and you can copy chemistry assays across from an Atellica CH 930.
Build the Siemens Atellica configuration your lab needs
Every Atellica analyzer runs the same reagents and software, so the right configuration comes down to your test volume, your mix of chemistry and immunoassay, and how much sample handling you want automated. We build and quote all of them.

biotechAtellica CI with Rack Handler. The most compact setup. The Rack Handler loads 120 tubes, processes up to 250 an hour and gives you up to 2 hours of walkaway time. Standalone labs and network outreach sites pick it when floor space is tight.
biotechAtellica CI with Sample Handler. The Sample Handler loads 440 samples, processes up to 500 tubes an hour and runs STAT samples within 60 seconds of loading. It stores 60 calibrators and controls in a refrigerated compartment and runs QC and calibration on schedule, so your techs stop loading them by hand.
biotechAtellica CI with Sample Handler, decapper and sealer. Add the Atellica Decapper, the Atellica Sealer or both. The decapper removes caps from up to 300 tubes an hour before testing, and the sealer seals up to 480 tubes an hour for storage. Your techs handle fewer open tubes, which cuts their exposure to biohazards and saves the time spent decapping and recapping by hand.

When your volume outgrows one CI, the Atellica Solution connects separate chemistry and immunoassay analyzers to one Sample Handler.
scienceAtellica CH 930 chemistry analyzer. Runs up to 1,800 chemistry tests an hour (1,200 photometric, 600 IMT) with 70 assays onboard. Up to six CH 930s connect to one system.
scienceAtellica IM 1300 and IM 1600 immunoassay analyzers. The IM 1300 runs up to 220 tests an hour and the IM 1600 up to 440, in the same footprint. Each holds 42 primary and 35 ancillary reagent positions. Up to four connect to one system.
scienceChemistry and immunoassay on one Sample Handler. One Sample Handler connects up to seven CH 930 and IM analyzers, and each tube goes to the analyzer that runs its tests.
biotechOne analyzer on Direct Load. A single CH 930 or IM analyzer can run on Atellica Direct Load instead, which holds 60 tubes and processes up to 250 an hour. Your techs load calibrators and controls themselves on this setup.
lanConnection to lab automation. The Atellica Sample Handler Connect links the system to Siemens Aptio Automation or FlexLab. If you don't run a track, the Atellica Sample Handler Additional doubles your sample and refrigerated storage capacity.

Plan your lab space for a Siemens Atellica CI
The Atellica CI with Rack Handler fits on less than 1.9 m² (about 20 sq ft) of floor. It needs a 30 A circuit, purified water and a 3-inch drain. Our engineers survey your site before delivery, and these are the numbers your facilities team will ask for.
local_shippingFootprint. With the Rack Handler, the CI measures 80.1 in wide, 36.8 in deep and 63.4 in high, and weighs 760 kg (1,676 lb).
biotechSample Handler. Adds 48.1 in of width and 464.5 kg (1,024 lb). A CI with a Sample Handler weighs 1,303 kg (2,872 lb) in total.
electrical_servicesPower. 200 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 24 A. In the US, the analyzer plugs into a NEMA L6-30 receptacle your facility provides.
water_dropWater. Reagent-grade water at 10 MΩ·cm or better, filtered to 0.22 µm at your water system's output and again before the analyzer.
water_dropDrain. A 3-inch drain that handles at least 100 liters an hour.
local_shippingFloor. A load rating of at least 400 kg/m². Seismic anchoring is available.
thermostatRoom conditions. 18 to 30 °C (64 to 86 °F) and 20 to 80% non-condensing humidity, at altitudes up to 2,000 m. The analyzer gives off up to 10,000 BTU an hour at full capacity, so check your HVAC.
biotechDecapper. If you add the Atellica Decapper, it needs compressed air at 87 to 101 psi from your lab supply or a separate compressor.
If you're building an Atellica Solution instead, see the Atellica CH 930 page for chemistry analyzer requirements.
Labs that buy a refurbished Siemens Atellica
local_hospitalSmall and mid-size hospital labs. Put chemistry, electrolytes and immunoassay on one Atellica CI instead of two or three separate analyzers, and free up floor space.
local_shippingDimension EXL labs. Siemens has stopped selling the Dimension EXL and plans to end its support. The CI runs chemistry and immunoassay together the way the EXL does, on Siemens' current platform, and a refurbished one costs up to 70% less than new.
local_shippingAdvia and Dimension Vista labs with higher volume. Move to an Atellica Solution built around CH 930 and IM analyzers on one Sample Handler.
lanHealth networks standardizing results. Run a CI at outreach and satellite sites so they report on the same reagents and reference ranges as the Atellica systems in your core lab.
check_circleAtellica labs that need a backup. Keep chemistry and immunoassay running while your main Atellica system is down for maintenance or repair.
check_circleLabs shopping for a used Atellica. Compare any used unit with one rebuilt to the frame, installed by our engineers and covered by our field service plans.
Siemens Atellica price. New, used or refurbished
Siemens sells new Atellica systems through contracts, and the analyzer's cost is often folded into a multi-year reagent agreement as a price per reportable result. We price each refurbished Atellica individually, because year of manufacture and configuration change from unit to unit. Whichever configuration fits your lab, you pay up to 70% less than new and own the system outright.
Used Atellica analyzers also come up for sale through brokers, auctions and lab closures. Before you compare a used price with a refurbished one, add what it will cost to get the used system reporting patient results.
Questions to ask before you buy a used Atellica
What year was it manufactured?
Has it been decontaminated, and can the seller document it?
Does it include the Rack Handler or Sample Handler, and does that unit work?
Which probes, syringes, seals, tubing and other wear parts were replaced, and when?
Do the chemistry and immunoassay sides both pass calibration and multi-level QC today, and can you see the results?
What software version does it run?
Who installs it, programs your assays and verifies them?
Who services it once it's running, and what does that cost?
Every refurbished Atellica we sell is decontaminated, rebuilt with new wear parts, calibrated and validated with multi-level QC before it leaves our facility. Our engineers then install it and verify your assays on site.
What sets the price of your Atellica
The analyzer's year of manufacture.
The configuration: an Atellica CI with a Rack Handler or Sample Handler, or an Atellica Solution with CH 930 and IM analyzers.
Add-ons such as a decapper or sealer.
Installation, assay programming and verification in your lab.
Operator training.
The service plan you choose.
Freight and rigging to your site.
The trade-in value of the analyzers you're retiring.
Why buy a refurbished Atellica instead of new?
paymentsA smaller capital request. Paying up to 70% less than new frees budget for the rest of your lab.
local_shippingOwnership. You own the system instead of paying for it inside per-result pricing, and you choose who services it.
check_circleResults that match new Atellica systems. A refurbished Atellica runs the same reagents and assay protocols as a new one, and we supply the reagents and consumables.
check_circleLess waste. Rebuilding an analyzer keeps it working and out of landfill, and uses less energy and raw material than building a new one.
How to get your Atellica price
Send us your daily chemistry and immunoassay volumes, your menu and your timeline, and we'll quote the configuration that fits. Ask for the price as a monthly payment too, starting with $0 down and low introductory payments.
Moving from Dimension EXL or Advia to Siemens Atellica
Siemens has stopped selling its Dimension and Advia Chemistry analyzers and is ending support for them. If your lab runs one, you can keep it or move to Atellica, and we support both choices.
check_circleKeep the analyzer you run. We service Dimension and Advia analyzers and supply their reagents for many years after Siemens ends support. We also sell the Dimension EXL 200, Advia 2400 and Advia Chemistry XPT refurbished, if you need a second unit or a replacement.
upgradeMove to Atellica now. A refurbished Atellica puts your lab on Siemens' current platform for up to 70% less than new. We install it beside your current analyzer so you can run both while you validate your methods.
What changes when a Dimension EXL lab moves to the Atellica CI
scienceMore chemistry and electrolyte capacity. The CI runs up to 600 photometric and 400 IMT tests an hour. Siemens rates the Dimension EXL 200 at up to 440 photometric and 187 IMT tests an hour.
scienceSlightly less immunoassay per hour. The CI runs up to 120 immunoassays an hour against the EXL 200's 167. Labs with heavy immunoassay volume should look at an Atellica Solution with an IM analyzer instead.
local_shippingMore floor space. The CI with Rack Handler is about 24 in wider than an EXL 200, so measure your bench run before you plan the swap.
Siemens Atellica CI vs. Atellica CH 930
Both run the same Atellica chemistry reagents and software. The choice comes down to volume and whether you want immunoassay in the same unit.
check_circleChoose the Atellica CI for chemistry and immunoassay in one analyzer, at up to 1,120 tests an hour on less than 1.9 m² of floor.
check_circleChoose the Atellica CH 930 if chemistry is your main volume. It runs up to 1,800 chemistry tests an hour, and you can connect more CH 930s and IM analyzers to its Sample Handler as you grow.

Frequently asked questions about the Siemens Atellica
Q: What is the Siemens Atellica?A: Atellica is Siemens' current family of chemistry and immunoassay analyzers. It includes the Atellica CI, which runs both in one analyzer, and the Atellica Solution, which connects CH 930 chemistry and IM immunoassay analyzers to one Sample Handler. All Atellica analyzers share the same reagents and software.
Q: How many tests per hour does the Atellica CI run?A: Up to 1,120: 600 photometric, 400 IMT electrolyte and 120 immunoassay tests. Your actual output depends on your test mix.
Q: How much does a Siemens Atellica cost?A: Siemens prices new Atellica systems by contract, often inside a reagent agreement. Refurbished by Diamond, an Atellica costs up to 70% less than new. We price each system individually, based on its year of manufacture, its configuration and the services you add.
Q: What's the difference between the Atellica CI and the Atellica Solution?A: The Atellica CI puts chemistry and immunoassay in one analyzer on less than 1.9 m² of floor. The Atellica Solution connects separate CH 930 and IM analyzers, up to seven in total, to one Sample Handler for higher volume.
Q: Is the Atellica CI 1900 the same analyzer as the Atellica CI?A: Yes. Siemens sold it in Europe as the Atellica CI 1900 before adopting the Atellica CI name worldwide.
Q: Should I choose the Rack Handler or the Sample Handler for my Atellica CI?A: The Rack Handler holds 120 tubes and takes up the least floor space. The Sample Handler holds 440 samples, stores calibrators and controls in a refrigerated compartment and runs QC and calibration automatically, and it's the only setup that accepts a decapper or sealer.
Q: Can the Atellica CI replace our Dimension EXL?A: Yes, for most labs. The CI runs more chemistry and electrolyte tests an hour than the EXL 200 and slightly fewer immunoassays. We install it beside your EXL so you can run both while you validate, and we can take the EXL as a trade-in.
Q: Do you service Atellica analyzers we already own?A: Yes. We qualify Atellica analyzers we didn't sell and cover them under the same field service plans as the units we sell.
