qpatch compact | sophion bioscience
Building on our successful collaboration with the QPatch II system, Lockenwitz worked with Sophion BioScience to develop the industrial design for a new manual patch clamp system, addressing an underexposed area of the market.
process
Focus was directed at achieving a robust enclosure which addressed users needs for easy, maintenance-free operation, with users being able to perform simple servicing tasks themselves.
The cabinet is compact - important in crowded lab environments - and the work environment is ergonomic, offering comfortable work positions and horizontal surfaces to place labware within reach. The main work surface is a corian sheet, milled and moulded, which is robust and easy to clean, and serves as a lid for accessing user-serviceable components.
Overall, the design reinforces the brand's new design DNA, featuring an extruded base shape with rounded major edges, clean, precise lines and surfaces, and a welcoming, lab-friendly colour scheme.
