The Challenge

Outdated susceptibility testing delaying life-saving antibiotic decisions

Traditional antimicrobial susceptibility testing is slow, leaving clinicians to prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics. A faster, more intuitive system was needed to enable targeted therapy and combat rising drug resistance.

The Solution

The SeLux Next Generation Phenotyping (NGP) platform automates antimicrobial susceptibility testing, using advanced phenotyping technology to deliver rapid, accurate results within 24 hours. This enables timely and targeted antibiotic treatment, creating reduced reliance on broad-spectrum drugs.

The Execution

Developing the SeLux NGP platform required translating advanced microbiology into an accessible diagnostic system. The process began with system architecture—organizing pumps, valves, and sample workflows into a reliable foundation. Prototyping and iteration refined both performance and usability, ensuring the platform could withstand daily lab demands. A unified design language tied together hardware and interface, giving the system a consistent, professional identity. The UX/UI team distilled complex data into layered dashboards, clear alerts, and visual cues that guide decision-making. By blending engineering rigor with human-centered design, the NGP platform emerged as a fast, intuitive tool for targeted antibiotic therapy.

The Impact

Rapid, accurate phenotyping for faster, targeted antibiotic therapy

Ensera Design transformed SeLux’s cutting-edge phenotyping technology into a fully realized platform, delivering rapid, precise antibiotic results that empower clinicians, improve patient outcomes, and combat the overuse of broad-spectrum drugs.

“HS Design helped us bring every element of our platform together—hardware, software, and workflows—into a seamless, reliable system. They understood the science and made it tangible, turning our complex phenotyping concept into a system our teams can actually use every day. Seeing the technology function as a complete, usable solution has been incredible.”
