The design of the product that enhances the brand
Elitech, a worldwide distributor of in vitro diagnostic equipments and reagents, decides to collaborate with our industrial design studio for the design of the new laboratory instruments design, a medical equipment for Molecular Biology laboratories named BeGenius®.

Elitech is an Italian company that produces and distributes diagnostic products for clinical chemistry, microbiology and molecular biology through a distribution network that includes more than 200 countries.

BeGenius is a new generation of scientific instruments conceived and designed to be smart, easy to use and extremely powerful.

A style with a strong identity that focuses on ease of use

Pq design has managed to give the medical instruments design character and personality respecting and enhancing the brand feeling of the company. The colors used – the bench and the green – reinforce the message and make it even more coherent. Great attention has been paid to how to use the machine to ensure a simple and intuitive work process, an experience that can make the user’s operations comfortable and safe. The opening has been designed to give great accessibility and space of maneuver. In addition, all the movements in the working area such as the insertion of cassettes and consumables, the touch screen and the cartridges are convenient to reach. In addition to the originality of the design, the project complies with a whole series of regulations and requirements that have guided the design team throughout the process of conception and development of design solutions.



Design of a set of home security devices for Zurich, a Swiss insurance company. Zurich commissions us to design a security kit consisting of router, sensors, camera and remote control. The kit is installed inside the homes of subscribers to ensure 360 ​​degree protection. Zurich chose us because it was looking for an agile and dynamic industrial design studio like ours, capable of proposing sophisticated design solutions but at the same time well supported by an analysis and benchmarking with the main players of devices for the security. Zurich was looking for a reliable partner able to guide them in the ecosystem of smart home management devices through domotics, technology and design.

The goals we achieved together with the client:
– analysis of industry trends
– concept design definition
– benchmarking
– definition of the CMG (Color Material Graphic)
– brand identity enhancement on the product

A design of a security device to enhance the company’s brand identity. Colors, finishes, materials, lighting and graphics applied to the product that speak the same visual language as the brand.



Design and development of a smart medical capsule designed specifically for the transport of blood, organs and other medical products by drone.

ABzero is an innovative spin-off of BioRobotica Institute of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna and has created an intelligent capsule for the delivery by drone of blood, organs, medicine, swabs and other medical products.

This innovative system provides medical staff to use technology in a simple and immediate way in compliance with regulations, ensuring the quality of the goods transported through automatic and safe delivery. The idea stems from the need to have a more efficient, faster and inexpensive system that guarantees the delivery of biological material, both safely and in compliance with relevant regulations.

The solution consists of a specifically designed capsule, unique worldwide, that is attached to the drone and is transported to its destination via an APP, while maintaining the integrity and quality of the material being transported.
The system is automatic and the operator can manage and monitor the capsule’s internal temperature, flight parameters and authorizations directly from the APP. Thanks to this innovation, transporting times for blood, organs, swabs and the like, are reduced by roughly 80%.

The electronic components are integrated in the main case, made of padded foam material, and offers the advantages of having a robust structure which is both light and insulated. Internally, the capsule is coated with an Aerogel layer that not only isolates but also protects the biological content being transported. The capsule is attached to the drone via a plate that has an electro-mechanical system.

The same technology was used for the closure of the tailgate: in this way, the operator can check the hitching/unhitching status to the drone and opening/closing of the tailgate via the APP. The integrated display provides essential flight information, while the double handle, which is integrated onto the structure, allows for a comfortable grip of the capsule during the hitching/unhitching and transporting phase by healthcare professionals.

Our industrial design agency supported the innovative start-up in the definition and development of the capsule, including integration with electronics and drone.
