Venneos CAN Q development
Function and design
For the Stuttgart based start-up Venneos, we developed the CAN Q Station. A measuring device for biological cell analysis. The innovative feature of this system is the innovative measurement approach. Cellular changes are visible electronically instead of optically.
Defortec played a key role in the development of technical components required for the intuitive operation of the novel microscope.
Development of the contacting mechanism
Based on the produced functional model, the contacting mechanism and the geometry of the culture chamber were tested in combination with the carrier board.
The functions of the mechanism as well as the smooth co-operation of the components were checked and continuously optimized by several running- and stress tests.
The focus of the functional investigations was primarily on the contacting mechanism and the interplay of the individual elements. These investigations have significantly contributed to the process optimization, technical precision and shape-finding.
Pilot series
In the second phase, a fully functional small series was manufactured, which was tested by pilot costumers.
This pilot series already had all the relevant innovations and functions. These included also the mechanics, developed by defortec. All used materials are food safe and extremely resistant due to the laboratory environment.

Design Center Stuttgart is the only State-owned design center in all of Germany. Located in „Haus der Wirtschaft“ in the middle of Stuttgart, it‘s the most important part of economic development support in Baden-Württemberg. It provides information and advice about professional design. As part of the promotion of trade and industry, it especially offers small and medium-sized enterprises guidance on current design topics. The Design Center Stuttgart offers companies and creative service providers the ideal platform for making contacts and networking. The cooperation with federations, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Center of Innovations and comparable institutions often plays an important role.
