MGI Tech's Major Achievement at the iF Design Awards

In a remarkable showcase of innovation in life sciences, MGI Tech Co., Ltd. has made headlines by securing three prestigious iF Design Awards. The recognition highlights MGI's commitment to developing core tools and technologies that not only push the boundaries of science but also focus on superior user experience. The iF Design Awards, known globally as a hallmark of exceptional design, acknowledged the outstanding work behind MGI's latest innovations: the T1+ and T7+ gene sequencers, along with the Imabot™ EF6-CL handheld ultrasound.

Innovative Gene Sequencers: T1+ and T7+

Launched in 2025, the T1+ desktop gene sequencer impresses with its capability to output terabase-scale data within just 24 hours. The iF Design Jury praised the T1+ for its user-friendly, one-click operational workflow that seamlessly integrates DNB preparation, sequencing, and analysis into a single automated process. This has revolutionized laboratory workflows, reducing resource waste and dramatically enhancing efficiency. With a versatile data output range of 25Gb to 1.25Tb, the T1+ sets a new standard in merging intuitive aesthetics with cutting-edge genomic technology, proving that advanced science can also be elegantly designed.

The T7+, another groundbreaking product released in the same year, goes beyond traditional sequencing capabilities. It delivers over 14Tb of ultra-high-quality sequencing data within a similar 24-hour timeframe. Recognized for democratizing access to advanced sequencing technology, the T7+ tackles the common issues of high costs and inefficiency that have plagued life science research. With its compact design, researchers operating in small labs or remote locations can now conduct high-throughput genomic projects with ease, thanks to its integrated layout and one-touch operation.

The Imabot™ EF6-CL: Redefining Ultrasound Technology

On another front, MGI’s Imabot™ EF6-CL handheld ultrasound system has emerged as a game-changer in portable diagnostics. Weighing a mere 275g, the EF6-CL melds mobility with professional-grade imaging. This versatile device features state-of-the-art dual probes, voice interaction capabilities, and a remote diagnosis cloud platform that allows real-time imaging from virtually anywhere. Notably, the iF Jury emphasized the system’s significant role in promoting equity in medical technology, particularly in underprivileged areas.

In an impressive demonstration of its capabilities, the EF6-CL successfully facilitated the first imaging operation on Mount Everest, proving its resilience and efficiency in extreme environments. This innovation exemplifies MGI's dedication to providing practical solutions tied to scientific research value, effectively addressing the healthcare gaps faced in remote regions.

MGI's Legacy in Design Excellence

Since its inception in 2016, MGI Tech's dedication to providing high-quality tools essential for advancing life sciences has positioned it as a recognized leader in the field. The recent wins at the iF Design Awards add to a burgeoning collection of accolades, with a staggering 11 iF Design Awards overall since 2018, including recognitions for previous products like their robotic ultrasound system and various genetic sequencers.
