Turnkey Autonomous WSI Microscope & Portable Nanopore DNA Lab-in-a-Box (SKU-2)
Eliminate weeks of external sequencing queues and R3,600+ overseas bioinformatics fees. SKU-2 combines an enclosed sub-micron (<100 nm) automated slide scanner and a portable Oxford Nanopore MinION + Bento Lab Pro molecular bench wired directly into our Johannesburg (africa-south1) + Netherlands GPU Switchboard (~R250/run).
How It Works With Your Equipment & Sovereign Cloud Switchboard
Industrialized Autonomous WSI (SKU-2A)
CNC matte-black anodized 6061-T6 aluminium enclosure, annealed Carbon-Fiber PETG-CF frame, Viton (FKM) O-rings, <100 nm XYZ step precision, 40x/100x Plan RMS optics, and RPi 5 + Hailo-8 26 TOPS NPU (~R17,480 ZAR at Cost + 15%).
Portable DNA/RNA Sequencing Dock (SKU-2B)
Pairs Bento Lab Pro (32-well PCR + 8,000g centrifuge + gel) or miniPCR with Oxford Nanopore MinION Mk1D & $90 Flongle single-test flow cells (~R139,600 ZAR full turnkey bench at Cost + 15%).
~R250/Run Sovereign GPU Switchboard (PROD-01)
Replaces R3,600+ overseas post-sequencing analysis and multi-day waits on the bottlenecked Cape Town CHPC supercomputer—generating 3D drug simulations and 2-page genetics reports in seconds.
HPCSA & POPIA Governance
Strictly generates 2-page genetics reports (never called 'doctor reports'); HPCSA clinicians retain 100% final diagnostic authority. Zero patient PII leaves the bench.
Procurement, LIMS & Regulatory Answers
How fast is the post-sequencing AI report vs. physical DNA extraction?
Physical wet-lab DNA extraction and Nanopore flow-cell sequencing take 45–90 minutes on the bench. The moment the sequencer outputs digital coordinates (FASTQ/VCF), our Johannesburg + Netherlands GPU Switchboard generates the 3D structural simulation and 2-page genetics report in 14–18 seconds for ~R250/run.
Can we buy the software sprint and hardware without triggering a R200,000 university tender?
Yes. Our 2-Week Custom AI Sprint is fixed at R160,000 ZAR (with 100% source code ownership), and our Starter Edge Vision + Autonomous WSI Microscope Node is R33,925 ZAR—totaling R193,925 ZAR (< R200,000 tender ceiling).
