A multiplex point-of-care diagnostics platform for rapid results

Kypha

Rapiplex

Supporting the development of fluorescence-based biosensing systems for rapid, quantitative point-of-care diagnostics.

The Challenge

Rapid development of a complex platform

Ensera Design were approached by Kypha to develop a Point-Of Care instrument for the quantitative detection of multiplex, fluorescence-based assays.

The challenge was not just to develop an instrument, but to coordinate multiple interdependent elements, from hardware and assay performance to user interaction and workflow.

Bringing these together into a cohesive system was essential to ensure reliable performance in real-world settings while maintaining pace of development.

The Solution

Within six months, Ensera Design delivered a ‘looks like/works like’ prototype, integrating optics, mechanics, electronics, software and user interface into a cohesive system.

In parallel, we supported early risk management activities and continued to contribute as the platform progressed, ultimately delivering fully CE-marked laboratory instruments.

The Execution

The project encompassed full system design and development, including concept-to-implementation of the internal optical measurement system, optimized through computational ray-tracing.

Electro-mechanical subsystems, cartridge loading, and chassis were engineered. User Interface development covered mapping complex multi-cartridge workflows, creating intuitive concepts, and styling screens with assets for seamless handover.

Ground-up software development ensured alignment with UI design, system control, and test result integrity. Advanced features included simultaneous test management, over-the-air updates, and time synchronization, delivering a robust, high-performance solution.
