Hi all this is our first snapshot of what we have found in the preliminary research. Please comment and suggest changes. Lets start a discussion on the state of the ar of these machines.

Design brief for wet lab centrifuges design

Describe the product's vision

• Open Source centrifuge that improves the commonalization of components.

  User group

  Describe the group of users that will use the product. Market segment to which we are going.

  Needs

• Access to equipment that is competitive, commercial grade(is a product not a design, that meet the standards) also open and easy to improve by anyone... (An open hardware product)
• We need to centrifuge different volumes
  • up to 1.5ml
  • up to 50 ml

Audience/ Users

Jobs (Requirements)

• Needs to be compliant with wet lab requirements

Pains

• There are already a lot of open hardware projects for centrifuges and users don't know which to use, where to find it.
• The sources and quality of documentation is diverse
• The volume for centrifuges targeted currently in the solutions is for small volumes(until 1.5 ml)
• Not all users want to do a fully DIY centrifuge.
• available solutions are not yet scalable for even low volume production (ideally mid- high volume )
• There is no available open hardware solution for 50 ml
• Active patents don't allow to replicate /reuse those designs patented

Gain creators:

• Centrifuge high volumes until 50 ml
• Centrifuge can be acquired as a
• Equipment can be acquired completely assembled and in mid to high volumes
• The centrifuge shares components and solutions with other equipment that uses similar components (electronics, etc.)
