The program's
goal was to
develop a Next Step, cost-effective
design for an analyzer system
with disposables, processing
200 tests per hour. A comprehensive
Systems Analysis™ study was performed
to define detailed criteria
and objectives of the system.
The following innovations resulted:
- Structural
Development:
- subassembly/housing
designs
- superstructure
and skin design
- High
Volume Disposables:
- 200
capacity solid reagent bead packs
- system's
sample rack for varying diameter tubes
- Industrial
Design:
- creating
an aesthetic appearance conveying
underlying technical advancements
- innovating
optimum anthropomorphic end-user interface
- Ergonomics/User
Interface:
- optimize
all ergonomics, including access to
all components/disposables
- Mechanical/Manufacturing
Engineering:
- complete
cost-effective mechanical and production
execution
The incorporation
of leading-edge design, engineering
and manufacturing technologies
resulted in a product (with
disposables) of exceptional
quality.
