Qube III | sophion bioscience
The Qube III is a breakthrough platform that's accelerating drug discovery and ion channel research. This automated system performs 384 simultaneous experiments with exceptional precision, turning what was once a manual, time-consuming process into an efficient, reliable operation.
As the industrial design studio behind this third-generation platform, Lockenwitz helped Sophion create a complex, powerful system that puts user-friendliness first.
Background
The Qube’s substantial vertical form establishes a commanding yet well-organized presence, reflecting its advanced capabilities while maintaining a user-centric feel. A robust presence and transparent greenhouse establish a visually compelling instrument that enhances any lab setting. The consistent emphasis on clean lines and precise surfaces reinforces a sense of order and dependable performance, essential for complex scientific workflows.
Considered aesthetic choices reinforce the brand’s new design DNA, featuring an extruded base shape with rounded major edges, clean, precise lines and surfaces, and the restrained integration of Sophion’s brand blue in a calm, lab-friendly colour scheme. All these contribute to a welcoming and inherently user-friendly interface for this complex instrument.

Approach
A key element of our user-centered approach is the integrated dynamic color-coded lighting system. By providing subtle, real-time feedback on instrument status through intuitive color cues, this feature aims to streamline usability and reduce cognitive burden for researchers, allowing them to concentrate on their scientific objectives.
At Lockenwitz, our primary goal for the Qube was to create a product where thoughtful design directly elevates user experience and strengthens our client's market position. We believe that by prioritizing visual appeal, intuitive usability, and user-centered features, we contribute significantly not only to scientific progress but also to Sophion's sustained success through enhanced market recognition and increased customer satisfaction.
