Description
The Sysmex CN-6000 System delivers the fastest throughput in the Sysmex hemostasis portfolio, up to 450 PT tests per hour across 26 measurement channels. Four testing methodologies consolidate onto one compact, automation ready platform for high volume laboratories. Siemens distributes the Sysmex built system in the United States with its full routine and specialty assay menu.
- 450 PT tests per hour – makes this the fastest hemostasis analyzer in the Sysmex portfolio per the manufacturer
- 26 measurement channels – with simultaneous five wavelength photometry for a broad consolidated menu
- Four methods onboard – covers clotting, chromogenic, immunoassay, and aggregation testing on one analyzer
- Up to 13 hours walkaway – from large onboard reagent and consumable capacity for long unattended runs
Main Description
High volume hemostasis services live or die on throughput, and this analyzer was built to lead its class on that measure while staying compact. It doubles the channel count of its mid volume sibling and reaches 450 PT tests per hour in single parameter analysis. The same four method consolidation applies, so routine and specialty coagulation work share one platform instead of splitting across instruments. Preanalytical sample assessment and intelligent workflow software reduce repeat testing and reagent waste. Continuous random access with a cap piercing STAT position protects urgent work during peak batches. For networks standardizing hemostasis, the system shares reagents, controls, and software with the CN-3000, so sites can scale by volume without retraining.

Why Choose This Product?
Reference and hospital core laboratories measure hemostasis analyzers on sustained throughput per square foot, and this system was engineered to top that ratio. It pairs the portfolio fastest processing with a footprint Siemens positions as the smallest in the hemostasis market. High volume services gain headroom for growth without surrendering bench space to do it.
- Peak absorption – 450 tests per hour clears morning coagulation surges without a second analyzer
- One platform standard – shared reagents and software with the CN-3000 simplify network wide standardization
- Less hands on time – preanalytical checks and automated reflex testing reduce technologist interventions
- Compact power – high throughput arrives in a footprint up to 60 percent smaller than comparable systems per Siemens
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast is the analyzer on routine coagulation tests?
Published throughput reaches 450 PT tests per hour and 450 APTT tests per hour in single parameter analysis, and 258 tests per hour for a simultaneous PT, APTT, antithrombin, and D-dimer panel. Figures vary with the reagent and test mix in use.
What makes it different from the CN-3000?
It doubles the measurement channels from 13 to 26 and raises PT throughput from 225 to 450 tests per hour for high volume services. Both systems share the same methods, reagents, controls, and software, so laboratories can standardize across both.
Which methods and assays are supported?
Clotting, chromogenic, immunoassay, and aggregation methods run on the platform with simultaneous five wavelength photometry. The Siemens routine and specialty hemostasis menu applies, including PT, APTT, antithrombin, and D-dimer applications.
How are samples loaded and prioritized?
Front loading holds 30 samples, and an optional sampler raises capacity to 120 samples with continuous loading. A dedicated STAT position with cap piercing and barcode identification protects urgent turnaround times.
Who manufactures and distributes the system?
Sysmex builds the CN series, and Siemens Healthineers distributes it in the United States under the companies long standing global hemostasis agreement. That partnership has supplied hemostasis products since 1995.
Can it run unattended for long stretches?
Yes. Onboard reagent and consumable capacity supports up to 13 hours of walkaway time, and predictive reagent management plus automated repeat and reflex testing reduce the interventions a run requires.
