ALO-M160

ALO-M160

The ALO M160 is a fully integrated, all-in-one molecular diagnostics system that brings sample extraction, PCR setup, amplification, and detection together into a single automated platform. Designed to streamline laboratory workflows, it enables true walk-away operation—from sample loading to final result—in less than two hours. The system uses prefilled, proprietary extraction plates and automated PCR set-up cartridges to minimize hands-on time, reduce contamination risk, and ensure consistent processing. With capacity for up to 16 samples per run and a 5-channel qPCR module capable of fast cycling, the ALO M160 provides reliable, high-throughput performance suitable for a wide range of DNA and RNA targets. Its intuitive user interface, LIS connectivity, and compact footprint make it an efficient solution for clinical labs looking to modernize their molecular workflow without compromising accuracy or flexibility.
