Berlin, Germany, 11 May 2026 – MGI Tech Co. Ltd. (“MGI”), a company dedicated to developing core tools and technologies that drive innovation in life sciences, is proud to announce that three of its latest innovations—the T1+ and T7+ gene sequencers and the Imabot™ EF6-CL handheld ultrasound—have been honoured with the prestigious iF Design Award. Recognised for merging cutting-edge technology with intuitive aesthetics, these products underscore MGI’s commitment to user-centric industrial design.
T1+ Desktop Gene Sequencer: Precision Redefined
Launched in 2025, T1+ is a desktop genetic sequencer capable of terabase-scale data output within 24 hours. The iF Jury praised the T1+ one-click “library-to-report” operation workflow, which integrates DNB preparation, sequencing and analysis into a single automated system. With a flexible data output capacity ranging from 25 Gb to 1.25 Tb, it streamlines laboratory workflows through adaptive throughput while minimising resource waste. Simultaneously pioneering the Smart Island interactive revolution, it establishes a new paradigm for the convergence of industrial design and genomic technology.
T7+ Gene Sequencer: Democratising High-Throughput Sequencing
T7+ is another genetic sequencer introduced in 2025, delivering over 14 Tb of ultra-high-quality sequencing data (Q40>90%) within 24 hours. The iF Design Jury recognises that it revolutionises life science research through the democratisation of technology, solving traditional pain points of high cost and low efficiency. With a compact structure, T7+ completes a 24-hour full workflow from sample input to sequencing data output through its integrated design, enabling flexible genome projects in small labs in remote areas and freeing researchers through its one-touch operation. The iF Jury highlights that it conceals complexity behind intuitive interaction, delivers high-performance output and removes accessibility barriers for cancer screening and crop improvement.
Imabot™ EF6-CL: Professional Imaging, Anywhere
Weighing only 275 g, the EF6-CL handheld wireless ultrasound system is a leap forward in portable diagnostics. The handheld ultrasound system combines mobility, accuracy and ease of use in one sleek design. Equipped with high-channel dual probes, voice interaction and a cross-altitude remote diagnosis cloud platform, it enables real-time and professional-grade imaging anytime, anywhere. The iF Jury highlights its value in addressing medical inequality by bringing professional-grade imaging to the world’s most underserved regions. In 2025, EF6-CL proved its resilience by completing the world’s first imaging operation in the extreme high-altitude environment of Mount Everest. It also demonstrates that EF6-CL fills application gaps in extreme environments and combines practicality with scientific research value.
