10) Briefly describe what sets this
product apart from others in the market

Abbott ARCHITECT analyzers are fully
automated and help labs manage
increasing testing volumes by eliminating
several manual steps, consolidating
workloads, and expediting results
reporting. ARCHITECT satisfies the need
for an automated, reliable, and costeffective clinical chemistry system. 
Further, Abbott verifies ARCHITECT
quality with Six Sigma metrics and offers
a full suite of safeguards to prevent
errors and identify potential problems
before the result leaves the lab.

Small footprint, extensive menu (125
assays), STAT interrupt capability, high
performance ISE, lowest mean time
between failure (MTBF)
