Portable PCR laboratory: suitcase equipment prototype

Prototype of a PCR laboratory built into a black suitcase, with dual screens, a compact keyboard, a camera and electronic modules.

Health and medical Corporate $50,000 – $100,000 6 – 12 months

The price includes design, functional prototyping, product testing and optimization.

Why design a portable PCR laboratory?

1

Equipment outside the lab

A suitcase holds all the equipment so it can be moved and opened wherever needed.

2

Dedicated interface

Dual screens and a compact keyboard concentrate operation in a single panel.

3

Modular electronics

Electronic modules are organized inside the suitcase as accessible blocks.

4

From prototype to equipment

The prototype lets the architecture be validated before certification and manufacturing.

Mechanical design

Suitcase housing for screens, panel and modules.

Electronic integration

Electronic modules, camera and control connected in a single unit.

Firmware

Embedded programming to control the equipment.

Software and connectivity

Interface and communication of the unit with other systems.

Portable equipment prototyping

Prototype to validate format, handling and internal layout.

Next step: validation

Functional and regulatory tests before industrialization.

“Fitting screens, camera, control and electronic modules in a suitcase means thinking about the whole unit at once: mechanics, electronics and software cannot be developed separately. If we could do this, we can surely do your idea.”
