Small batches. A simpler workflow.
We are designing the CYCLE chamber for two eight-position sample strips. Our focus is on thermal conditions, convenient operation and data the team can revisit after a run. The platform is intended for laboratories developing and evaluating research procedures, including PCR protocols.
01
More room for research
A planned enclosure of approximately 18 × 18 cm helps with research workstation layout.
02
Small batches, simpler handling
The 2 × 8 layout is designed for convenient preparation of small batches and development of research procedures.
03
Easy access to run records
Recorded temperatures, stages and events help teams review successive runs.
More control over every experiment.
We are developing CYCLE around laboratory needs: cycle conditions, convenient operation and access to experiment data.
01 / CYCLE
Stay in control of the run
We are developing temperature and stage timing controls alongside safeguards to support comparable conditions across successive research batches.
02 / CYCLE
Responsive heating and cooling
The lightweight block needs less heat to change its temperature. Combined with directed airflow, it is designed to ease transitions between cycle stages and reduce the time spent changing temperature.
03 / CYCLE
Trace every run
Telemetry and event logs let teams review cycle stages, temperatures and stops. They support run analysis and comparison across successive experiments.

Application validation
Assessing process repeatability and suitability for a selected research use case.
Thermal performance, energy consumption and process repeatability will be assessed through physical prototype measurements. Current results come from a virtual bench. PCR validation and conformity assessment remain ahead.

Concrete steps and a clear view of our work. Selected updates from the project.
Integration
Run records as part of the research workflow.
Integration tests cover communication between the application and firmware, alongside cycle-stage recording. This supports the development of tools for reviewing and comparing runs. Current tests use a virtual bench.
Next phase
Towards prototype build and validation.
The next phase covers electronics bring-up, temperature calibration and safety verification. We welcome conversations about collaboration on this work.
Industrial design
A compact format for small batches.
The D02 design specifies an enclosure of approximately 18 × 18 cm and a chamber for two sample strips. We are developing this format around compact workstation organisation and convenient preparation of successive research batches.
