Close collaboration between design and engineering has gone into the development of the EXM3000 testing device in order to meet the need for fast, fully automated ways of detecting SARS-CoV-2. The emphasis has been placed on using materials efficiently to reduce costs, resulting in a very compact, friendly-looking device. The convex front gives the appearance of being open, facing the user so that the screen can be viewed at an ideal angle. The handle for opening the sample compartment is recessed flush with the casing so that it is not in the way while working. The tinted plexiglass pane provides a view of the current analysis process.
Statement by the Jury
This test device has been pared down to the essentials, making it very intuitive and convenient to handle, as well as directly focused on the user.
