Challenge

Countless animal experiments are conducted worldwide on mice, etc., in “preclinical tests” that last for years and are ultimately evaluated in humans.

Often, after years of clinical trials, it turns out that the drug doesn’t work as expected, and the team is left empty-handed. The gap between humans and animals is large — the “translational gap”— and countless animals have lost their lives for nothing, or scientists have lost years of work. Furthermore, only a few drugs can be tested at a time due to severe resource constraints. AI will enable many more drugs to reach the preclinical phase, which can no longer be achieved with current “manual” methods.

Solution

To reduce the translational gap between animals and humans and save time, Lifetaq invented the Olimat, a machine for 3D cell cultivation.

This allows drugs to be tested in advance using real human cells. Furthermore, many more drugs can be tested, animal testing is significantly reduced, and customers can thus reduce the translational gap and test drugs under perfectly hygienic conditions with the modular machine.

Global Impact

The OliMAT will revolutionize the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and animal testing industries.

Cell cultivation enables efficient, early preclinical drug testing.Animal testing becomes obsolete, and drugs can be tested and approved more quickly. This results in 80% time savings and cost reductions in the preclinical phase.The modular industrial design takes the machine’s technical advantages into account. Modules can be expanded and reordered when an update is required.

Design Challenge

The design challenge was to transform a technically functioning machine into a design that appeared hygienic, clean, and modern, and that reflected the revolutionary technology.

Furthermore, the handling and user experience were limited by the purely technical and scientific approach. Furthermore, the modules were of different sizes, and the refrigerator was located outside the machine. The design had to be designed in such a way that technical updates could be implemented and added later.

Design Solution

The machine was designed modularly so that modules can be added and updated later, depending on the customer’s needs.

The modularity was emphasized by vertical dividers and LED light strips. Furthermore, it is cost-neutral to manufacture, easy to maintain, and has been significantly optimized for handling. The white color gives the machine a modern, futuristic, and clean appearance, reflecting Lifetaq’s positive strategic direction. The vertical dividers allow for easy maintenance thanks to hinged modules.

Create Impact + Design Legacy

Design has the power to create global impact.

A technologically groundbreaking product is brought to market with the support of the modern, futuristic, and positive design created by Johannes Geisler. Laboratories, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies can easily integrate it into everyday life. Drugs can be tested faster and more easily thanks to the modularly designed system and automated cell cultivation.
