UNIQO 160 – Next-Generation Fully Automated IFA System

The UNIQO 160 from EUROIMMUN is a breakthrough in fully automated immunofluorescence (IFA) diagnostics, designed to deliver maximum efficiency, reproducibility, and traceability from primary sample to final result proposal. Compact yet powerful, this all-in-one benchtop solution brings together sample processing, incubation, washing, slide mounting, microscopy, and AI-driven evaluation into one seamless workflow — revolutionizing the way laboratories perform IFA testing.

End-to-End IFA Automation

The UNIQO 160 covers the entire IFA workflow automatically:

• Sample preparation and dilution with complete traceability via integrated barcode scanning
• Automated incubation and washing to standardize results and reduce variability
• Slide mounting after incubation to protect against drying, guaranteeing brilliant fluorescence signals from the first to the last sample
• High-resolution image acquisition using a built-in microscope with automatically switching objectives (4×, 10×, 20×) and autofocus
• Image evaluation and result proposal powered by advanced AI

With a capacity of up to 160 patient samples and 18 slides per run, the UNIQO 160 provides true walk-away convenience for medium-throughput laboratories, dramatically reducing hands-on time and manual errors.

Intelligent AI-Powered Evaluation

Captured image data is instantly transmitted to the EUROPattern Classifier, an advanced pattern recognition system based on deep convolutional neural networks. This software goes beyond simple positive/negative classification — it reliably identifies complex fluorescence patterns including ANA, ANCA, AMA, anti-LKM (LKM-like), and mixed patterns, and even provides titer proposals. By combining powerful AI with computer-aided IIFT evaluation, the UNIQO 160 ensures fast, objective, and reproducible diagnostics.

Seamless Digital Integration

The system integrates directly with EUROLabOffice 4.0, offering bidirectional LIS connectivity for complete digital workflow integration. Results are displayed directly on-screen, securely archived, and linked to patient records with full traceability. Every action — from sample identification to result reporting — is documented, ensuring compliance with international standards and simplifying audits.

Brilliant Imaging with Long-Term Reliability

The built-in microscope unit delivers brilliant fluorescence images across a wide range of substrates, supported by premium optics, autofocus, and automated objective switching. Standardized illumination ensures reproducible signal intensity, while the compact, enclosed design of the UNIQO 160 ensures consistent performance in any laboratory environment. Long walk-away times and automated processes allow staff to focus on higher-value tasks while the system runs independently.
