Fluidigm CyTOF II
The design vision for the CyTOF II Mass Flow Cytometer merges contemporary aesthetics with functional excellence to create an iconic system that resonates within the Life Sciences industry. The design seamlessly blends beauty and functionality, fostering a profound connection with the technology. With an expected long in-lab lifespan, the design intent is meant to remain both alluring and relevant, elevating the user experience that defines this cutting-edge instrument. The design narrative integrates the core requirements and functional considerations of the CyTOF II's internal structure, ensuring unobstructed access to the torch feed for visibility and incorporating an internal mirror to offer a visual cue for plasma operation. Addressing the duality of generator configurations, the design adeptly accommodates the engineers’ preferred setup.
The design extends its elegance to the Auto Sampler unit, unifying both components through a shared family design language that harmoniously integrates the companion device with the CyTOF II. Tailored to fit the CyTOF's right-side shelf/counter, the Auto Sampler boasts a clear front cover for easy viewing of fluid levels and sample trays, enhancing user interaction and sample management. A meticulous exploration of a new color palette ensures a modern yet industry-appropriate appearance. This design approach not only infuses the system with visual memorability but also acknowledges its place within the realm of life sciences instrumentation. By embracing the fusion of form and function, the new enclosure design for the CyTOF II and its Auto Sampler unit creates a remarkable synergy, inviting users to forge an enduring connection with technology that is as beautiful as it is precise.
