The Enigma MiniLab is a high-powered, self-con- tained portable lab instrument used in the field that provides ultra-rapid, laboratory-standard results in a speedy and efficient manner. Emphasis was placed on developing a user inter- face with the ease of use needed for point-of-care testing, simplifying logistical and sample prepa- ration procedures normally associated with PCR. Areteworks was able to organize the instrument’s diverse functionality in meaningful and intuitive ways while keeping the aesthetics of the user interface contemporary and elegant.
