Description

UNIQO 160 provides a complete automation solution from primary sample pipetting to automated IFA image acquisition within a single instrument.

In one run, this benchtop device processes up to 160 primary samples and 18 microscope slides. Samples, reagents, and slides are automatically identified and assigned via barcodes for complete traceability. Slides are protected from drying through automated mounting and cover-slipping after incubation.

This device integrates a high-quality microscope with automatically changing objectives (4x, 10x, 20x) for fluorescence image acquisition across the entire worklist.
