The Alinity s is a very interesting machine, it can process over 500 samples/hour, but reliability is a major, major issue. We've endured more downtime than operational time at the Bahia State blood bank (Brazil), furthermore, if the service panel is opened, or if the day QC expires in the middle of an array, or if QC is not performed on both incubation blocks simultaneously, or some other details, all samples within the machine, with or without results, must be retested. The machine also has some major trouble reading barcodes printed on kaolin coated paper, requiring manual identification from the operator. There are some firmware glitches too, requiring reset and reaction vial dump. I've noticed that there's also an issue with leaks in some lines, with buffer salt crystals forming near valves and valve actuators.
