PDT updated the machine to add functionality, improve the user experience for lab techs, and address issues of reliability and maintenance for use in the client’s CLIA-certified laboratory.

An Updated Machine

Cynvenio Biosystems LipquidBiopsy machine locking system

We paired the locking system with software to prevent users from unlocking the tray mid-cycle, preventing spillage and contamination of samples.

Proactive Solutions

Engineering LiquidBiopsy Platform

 

By rerouting tubing and electronics, PDT’s engineers were able to improve both overall aesthetics and usability.

Overall Improvement

Prototype used for validation testing

Multiple prototypes were created for validation testing and use in Cynvenio’s lab.

Prototyping

Cynvenio LiquidBiopsy Platform

With an average processing time of only 2.5 hours, the new system provides high efficiency capture at a throughput of 5ml blood/hour.

A Highly Efficient System
