Project Name: Design of Automatic Western Imprinting Processing System
Cooperation content: design analysis | appearance design | structural design | prototype production | accompanying running assistance
This is the three fully automatic western imprinting processing system schemes (A, B and C) introduced by sumot Design Company. As the core equipment of molecular biology laboratory, its design revolves around "automation of experimental process and operation experience", and integrates in-depth adaptation to laboratory scenes in form and details. It is a design sample integrating "functional rationality" and "user-friendliness" of life science equipment.
1. Design Analysis: Functional Modularity for Laboratory Scenarios
The core scenario of western imprinting processing is the automated sample processing of biological experiments, and the underlying logic of the three schemes is based on "experimental process priority" as the core:
The functional modules are highly unified: they are divided into three modules: "interactive control area (top screen operation keys), processing cabin module (drawer-type warehouse body), and equipment core area (body body body)", which fit the experimental process of "putting samples → setting parameters → starting automatic processing. The drawer-type processing chamber not only guarantees the sealing of sample processing (avoiding pollution), but also facilitates the taking and placing of samples, and adapts to the "sterile and efficient" requirements of the laboratory.
Scene adaptation of materials: all adopt the combination of "white laboratory-grade plastic black function panel", and white conveys the laboratory attribute of "clean and orderly", which meets the environmental hygiene requirements of biological experiments. The black panel strengthens the identification of the interactive area, enables the experimenters to quickly locate the operation area, and reduces the operation error in the experiment.
2. Design Languages: Rationality and Identification in the Laboratory
The design language of the three schemes is based on the keynote of "rational specialty of scientific research scene", and at the same time, the degree of recognition is formed by the difference of details:
Commonality: Minimalist scientific research aesthetics: all adopt the form of "square rounded corners without redundant decoration" to avoid complex design interfering with experimental concentration and convey the "rigor" of life science equipment ". The light and thin design of the fuselage adapts to the compact table space of the laboratory, which is convenient for multi-equipment to be placed together.
Differences: Visual identification details:
Scheme A is mainly "white, black, red and blue", and the blue light band is used as the processing status indicator to enhance the interaction of the equipment;
Scheme B is mainly "white, black and red", with red decorative strips to strengthen brand identification and make the whole more concise;
Scheme C simplifies the decorative elements and highlights the "tool attributes" of the experimental equipment with a minimalist combination of "white, black and red".
Red, as a common embellishment color, not only unifies the brand vision, but also forms a striking recognition point in the laboratory environment.
3. Design Details: Implicit Support for Experimental Flow
The detailed design revolves around "automation and safety of biological experiments:
Details of the interaction area: the top screen adopts "embedded design" to avoid equipment damage caused by splashing experimental liquid; The operation keys beside the screen adopt "raised physical keys" to meet the requirements of "gloved operation" in the laboratory. Even if there is reagent residue in the hands, the function can be triggered accurately.
Details of the processing compartment: the drawer-type compartment is equipped with a "sealed handle", which not only ensures the sealing of the processing process (preventing sample contamination or reagent volatilization), but also improves the stability during picking and placing through the anti-skid texture of the handle; The junction between the cabin and the fuselage is provided with "dust-proof rubber strips" to further strengthen the adaptation of the sterile environment of the laboratory.
Body details: The side heat dissipation grille adopts a "fine array design", which not only ensures the heat dissipation requirements of the equipment for long-term operation, but also prevents experimental debris from entering the body and improves the laboratory durability of the equipment.
4. ergonomics: comfortable adaptation for laboratory operation
Ergonomic design is optimized for "frequent operation by experimenters:
Operation height adaptation: the overall height of the equipment is in line with the natural height of the elbow of the "laboratory table sitting posture operation". When the experimenter takes and puts the sample and operates the screen, the arm does not need to be lifted excessively, thus reducing the muscle fatigue of the long-term experiment.
Adaptation of operation process: the opening and closing angle and handle position of the drawer-type processing cabin are adapted to the requirement of "one-handed operation". Experimenters can quickly complete the taking and placing of samples while holding experimental consumables. The flat design on the front of the fuselage can temporarily place items such as experimental record sheets to improve the continuity of the experimental process.
Conclusion: Automation partners in the laboratory.
The design of these three fully automatic western imprinting processing systems is a symbiotic sample of "automation function" and "laboratory experience" of life science equipment. It takes functional modularity as the skeleton and adapts to the process requirements of biological experiments. Rational design language is used as texture to transmit the professional attributes of scientific research equipment. Detail design is used as nerve to support the sterility and high efficiency of the experiment. Taking ergonomics as the blood vessel, the operation burden of the experimenters is reduced.
At a time when life science experiments are increasingly automated, this design not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of Western blot processing, but also redefines the value of "laboratory equipment"-it is no longer a cold automation tool, but an "efficient collaboration partner" for experimenters ". This concept of "adapting to the scientific research scene by design and caring for the experimental experience by details" also points out the direction for the design of life science equipment: only by deeply integrating the "rationality of scientific research function" with the "sensibility of user experience" can laboratory products that really help life science research be created.
