A Closer Look at the Award-Winning Innovations

T1+ Gene Sequencer: Redefining Precision

Introduced in 2025, the T1+ gene sequencer stands out with its ability to generate terabase-scale data within a mere 24 hours. The iF jury praised its innovative “Library-to-Report” one-click workflow, which seamlessly integrates DNA preparation, sequencing, and data analysis into a single automated device. With versatile data throughput options ranging from 25 Gb to 1.25 Tb, the T1+ is designed to optimize lab workflows while minimizing resource waste. Furthermore, the device incorporates the Smart Island feature, transforming the landscape of industrial design and genomics technology.

T7+ Gene Sequencer: Broadening Access to High-Throughput Sequencing

MGI's T7+ gene sequencer, also launched in 2025, takes sequencing to new heights, delivering more than 14 Tb of high-quality sequencing data (Q40 > 90%) within 24 hours. The iF Design Jury noted that the T7+ revolutionizes bioscience research by making technology more accessible, addressing traditional challenges such as high costs and inefficiency. Its compact design completes a full 24-hour workflow from sample input to data output, thus facilitating genome projects even in remote lab settings. The user-friendly operation with a simple button press enhances researchers' experience, while the device's ability to simplify complex processes directly contributes to advancements in cancer detection and crop improvement.

Imabot™ EF6-CL: Professional Imaging Anytime, Anywhere

Weighing only 275 grams, the portable Imabot™ EF6-CL ultrasound device marks a significant advancement in diagnostics on the move. It features advanced capabilities, such as high-channel dual probes, voice interaction, and a cloud-based platform for remote diagnostics, ensuring that professional-level imaging is accessible anytime and anywhere. The iF jury recognized its potential to bridge medical inequality by bringing professional imaging to under-resourced areas. Notably, the EF6-CL demonstrated its robustness by facilitating the world’s first imaging deployment in the extreme environment of Mount Everest in 2025, highlighting its versatility and practical utility in challenging conditions.

A Legacy of Design Excellence

The iF Design Awards, organized by the iF International Forum Design GmbH in Berlin, are globally recognized as one of the most prestigious design accolades, often dubbed the
