Working Side by Side

We partnered with Q-linea to design the first ASTar instrument, a fully automated system that delivers rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) directly from blood samples. Our work spanned both Product Design and UX & UI Design, resulting in a user-friendly device that reflects Q-linea’s strong visual identity and commitment to innovation.

Design Essentials

Modern design – clean, ergonomic form with a central screen

Accessible UI – high-contrast, WCAG-based for clinical readability

User-focused hardware – intuitive drawers and inlets for smooth workflows

Guided onboarding – step-by-step support for confident operation

Working Side by Side

By combining UX & UI Design and Product Design in a unified process, we ensured that ASTar meets the high standards of the medical technology industry, balancing form, function, and user experience. The result is a next-generation diagnostic platform that supports clinicians, lab technicians, and ultimately, patients.
