By utilizing Technopath's Multichem QC materials for the Alinity ci-series you can optimize your QC workflow and minimize handling errors.

The barcoded vials eliminate the need to manually transfer QC materials into the sample cups.

  • Multichem quality controls can be stored on-board the Alinity ci-series, in a temperature controlled reagent carousel, and automatically run at user-defined intervals
  • Barcoded quality controls make loading faster and easier - minimizing errors
  • Full automation of the QC process
  • On-board stability of the controls is monitored by the Alinity ci-series software
  • Inter-laboratory peer comparison with IAMQC® Peer

Multichem Quality Control Products available for Alinity ci-series Analyzers include:

Multichem IA Plus 

Multichem S Plus

Multichem P

Multichem U

FeaturesBenefits
Full automation of the QC process with on-board Multichem QC on the Alinity Platforms that can save up to 60 minutes a day*. Alinity Multichem QC is automatically stored on board the temperature-controlled reagent carousel which is fully monitored by the Alinity software. * Versus manual QC. Per Abbott TCO Study, July 2017, Gontard & Cie (LiubovStankevich MD, PhD, & Boris Gorodetsky, MD).Increased Operational efficiency and improved QC management processes through automation, and reduced operator time loading and unloading of QC material.
No manual order entry is required as the Multichem vials are barcoded.Barcoded quality controls make loading faster, easier and less prone to errors, which increases operational efficiency and optimises the QC process.
Alinity software monitors the validated on-board stability of QC vials per assay.Automated process that reduces error and improves the QC management process, which increases confidence in performance.
Automatically runs the QC at the start time of each shift and then a predetermined time interval per assay or after a fixed number of patient samples have been run.Automated process that reduces error and improves the QC management process, which increases confidence in performance.
Automatically runs the QC at the start time of each shift and then a predetermined time interval per assay or after a fixed number of patient samples have been run.Increased Operational efficiency and optimisation of process through automation, which increases confidence in performance.
Up to 24 vials of Multichem Alinity controls can be stored on board each Alinity module so as to allow switching to back up vials during a run or for different lots for cross over studies, which means no interruption to patient testing workflow.Increased Operational efficiency and improved QC management processes.
Eliminate mixing up of levels - Vials can be placed in any order in the rack as the Alinity recognizes the vials by the 2D barcode.Barcoded quality controls make loading faster, easier and less prone to errors increasing Operational efficiency and improving QC management processes.
Expired controls vials are automatically outputted to the RSM (Reagent Sample Manager) for disposal.Increased Operational efficiency and improved QC management processes through automation of empty or expired vials.
Alinity software alerts the operator of QC vials that are running low in volume based on a predetermined percentage volume level.Increased Operational efficiency and improved QC management processes by alerting the user.
New QC vials can be loaded when required during the shift without interrupting the workflow or pausing the Alinity analyzer.Increased Operational efficiency and improved QC management processes with less wastage.
XML file downloads the lot specific information for ease of use such as: Control level, Control lot number, Analyte target, SD and range, Analyte specific on-board stability, Expiration date, Units.Automated process that reduced error and improves the QC management process, which increases confidence in performance.
