UNIO 448

UNIO 448 System

IVD CE

UNIO 448 is a high-throughput, fully automated PCR solution that streamlines the entire molecular diagnostics workflow-from sample to result-within a compact, user-friendly system. 

Features

Fully Integrated Workflow

UNIO 448 combines reagent preparation, nucleic acid extraction, and PCR amplification into one automated platform for true sample-to-result operation. 

  • Automated reagent preparation, extraction, and PCR amplification 
  • Supports multiple types of sample tubes 
  • Continuous loading and random access of samples and consumables 

High Throughput, Compact Design

UNIO 448 delivers maximum capacity and performance in a compact footprint. 

  • Up to 448 tests in 8 hours 
  • First results in ~113 minutes, with subsequent batches every 30 minutes 
  • Walk-away time of up to 6 hours for 288 tests 
  • Space-efficient design: <2.2 m² footprint 

Advanced Contamination Control

A modular one-way flow design and multi-layered safety systems ensure dependable and contamination-free processing. 

  • UV sterilization and HEPA filtration across modules 
  • Single-track sample flow between isolated compartments 
  • Disposable filter tips, leakage protection, and heat-sealing technology 

Precision and Safety

UNIO 448 ensures consistency and traceability with built-in control systems and intelligent monitoring. 

  • Stable PCR temperature control for reproducible results 
  • Integrated QC system with positive and negative controls 
  • Error detection: clot, bubble, collision, and volume tracking 
  • Automated tube capping and decapping 

Smart & Connected Operation

Engineered for flexibility and data integrity through intelligent software and connectivity. 

  • Independent triple PCR modules for parallel runs 
  • STAT mode for urgent sample processing 
  • Barcode-based sample identification 
  • Bidirectional LIS (LIMS) connectivity for smooth data integration
