Dynamic high-contrast design for laboratory analytics

Clearly structured design language

With its unique features - such as continuous sample loading or pre-launch validation - the Equisse 400 stands out from the crowd of comparable products. With a new design, the originally extremely large device was to appear less bulky and at the same time reveal the high performance of the Equisse. The WILDDESIGN team therefore decided on a shape whose flowing lines are reminiscent of a yacht. All lines are laid out parallel to each other at a 45-degree angle, which not only gives the device dynamism, but also an orderly structure at the same time.

The user also gains orientation through the high-contrast design: user and process areas have been separated from one another, thus ensuring safer, simpler operation and more efficient work. All surfaces relevant to the user are black and have a smooth surface that is easy to wipe clean. The white housing parts contain the technical components and the internal sample transport system. A camera system takes over the identification of sample containers and helps to exclude mix-ups. The housing contour is interrupted by a gray base, which makes the instrument appear flatter and lighter. In addition, the recess between the base and the instrument provides space for a concealed cooling system.

Sophisticated GUI for best performance

The evaluations of the laboratory results can be read on a monitor whose GUI was also developed by WILDDESIGN. Graphic illustrations make it easier for the user to find his way around - for example, by showing a top view of the sample wheel or a representation of the entire device in which the relevant areas are highlighted. In the sense of a holistic design, the concise 45-degree slopes are also found in the GUI's control bars.
