The manual describes the ARCHITECT C8000 system architecture, including the System Control Center (SCC), the Processing Module (PM), and the Sample Handling (RSH) unit, as well as the sample, reagent, and reaction detection modules. It also lists consumables, accessories, and automatic flushing procedures.
Operational guidance covers routine startup, order entry, result review, and detailed maintenance programs (daily, weekly, monthly) with step‑by‑step screens and required supplies. Configuration of reagents and assay parameters is explained in dedicated chapters. This manual is written in Chinese.
