LifeScale® is an award winning, unique and automated medical device for rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Used in both microbiology research and in clinical laboratory environments, this medical device yields results in under three hours instead of what previously took days to complete. The enclosure was functionally designed to keep the liquid samples visible with the lids closed and to take up as little bench space as possible. The aesthetic challenge included utilizing low volume manufacturing processes to produce a high-perceived value for a medical/scientific product. The design details include a chamfer that wraps around the top edge of the unit, which reflects the path that individual cells take around the sensor inside. The dual lids on the unit are electronically locked during testing. Special hinges that apply torque help lift the lids with ease when access is needed.

The Royal Vort-X is an award winning, high-powered premium blender that was designed to be part of the INNOVE™ housewares product family from Royal Prestige. A chrome-plated, die-cast zinc base houses a powerful motor and a beautifully curved, intuitive, capacitive-touch control panel. Gliding your finger across the arc of light in the center of the panel allows for effortless control of the motor speed, and the responsive cap-touch buttons allow for precise control of pulses. Inside the glass (or higher capacity, optional plastic) carafe, subtle vertical ribs guide particles back into the center of the vortex for even, consistent blending. Silicone gaskets around the edges of the lid and removable knob provide a leak-free experience. A robust, ergonomic handle provides complete control while pouring from the carafe. Every aspect of the Royal Vort-X has been designed and scrutinized in order to provide the best possible blending experience.

The award winning Luminex Writer is the most lightweight, compact and precise stenograph machine ever created.

It features a full color, high-resolution touch screen which folds flat, responsive touch sensor buttons, a built-in power source, built-in Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities, plus a revolutionary dual key stabilizer which drastically reduces side-to-side key wobbling and makes for an extremely accurate writer. The clean fluid lines and the minimal size of the enclosure are ideal for the professional courtroom and office environments that the Luminex is used in. An additional feature includes the exposed dials on both sides of the unit that allow the end user to customize the product for their individual writing style. It is simply the most electronically sophisticated, compact, and aesthetically elegant stenograph machine made.
