UNIO A24S Extraction & PCR Setup System
UNIO A24S
Features

Flexibility & High PCR Setup Capacity
PCR Setup compartment containing two 96-well modules of a total of 192 wells that can accompany 4 different PCR Setup reactions
2 separate reagent racks; each containing more than 20 positions that are designed to carry extraction and PCR components
Perfect option for Panel Kits
Ready-to-use Cartridge System
Fast & Efficient Sample Transfer – The original cartridge rack system allows seamless transfer of 24 samples in seconds, significantly reducing preparation time
Preloaded Consumables – Each cartridge includes all necessary solutions and plastic consumables required for magnetic bead-based extraction with dedicated compartments for tips, tubes, and samples to ensure an organized and efficient process
Enhanced Safety
Advanced UV Decontamination – A mobile UV lamp scans the entire working area without leaving shadowed regions, ensuring effective decontamination
Sterile, Individual Pipetting – The instrument pierces each cartridge for the first time and transfers samples into dedicated reaction wells using separate sterile, filtered pipette tips for each sample
Sealed & Controlled Processing – The system prevents contamination by maintaining a controlled, enclosed environment during extraction
Flexible Sample and Elution Options
Versatile Processing Modes – Choose from Tube on Cartridge, Direct in Well, or Tube on Rack options
User-Friendly Workflow Storage – Frequently used workflows can be saved for increased convenience
Compact Design with Minimal Footprint
A space-saving solution for 24 samples while occupying minimal lab space
Tip Detection Mechanism
In both extraction and PCR Setup processes, the system warns if no pipette tip is found, if the tip fails to be taken, or if it drops the tip
Liquid Level Detection
Two dedicated pipettes with liquid-level sensing for checking reagent volumes, pipetting samples, preparing the extraction master mix, and performing PCR setup
Warns if tips are clogged or if not enough sample is drawn for example due to gel or blood clot
Features
24-Sample Capacity
