Discover the AltoStar® Molecular Diagnostic Workflow

The innovative parallel processing strategy enables an ‘all on one run’ efficient workflow. Multiple sample types and multiple test parameter combinations – all on the same run.

  • Common extraction protocol for all sample types (DNA/RNA)
  • User configurable multi-parameter test combinations from a single extract
  • Quantitative, qualitative and multiplex assays on the same run
  • Scalable sample throughput (1-96 per run) – no minimum batch size
  • Sample to result data exchange and tailored results analysis package
