I read-up on the machines purpose. It was used in cancer research, where one could take up to 48 cell samples. While keeping them alive up to 24h within the sample well plate. During this each cell 'channel' can be treated by different chemicals. In the same different fluorescent dyes can be dispensed per cell, different other reagents for instance to test cells viability / metabolism. I think the easiest way to think of it, is like a human bio-reactor where different cancer treatments can be test in parallel and rapidly.

Those FLI cameras use pretty standardised control software, looks to be a custom version of their Hyperion range, would be a killer astrophotography imager on the the right telescope.

As someone not directly involved but very familiar with the industry of super-expensive super-low-volume machines: The looks do matter. In the end, these things get sold at tradeshows. Having your unit stand out on a trade show makes a big difference. On top of that, it is a way to differentiate from others. By not being 'boring grey box', you avoid being forgotten amongst the sea of grey boxes. Then there is the psychological effect. Sure, that machining might add 5k to the BOM of the machine, but after all, that is just 1% of the list price. And the users who might trial the machine do subconsciously (even if people claim the don't care - research shows they do) associate it with a fancier, better product, even if the specs are almost identical to another machine. And then if your device is in the same price bracket as another device with similar specs, you might win the contract a bit more often than if you saved a few k on machining. (that said, some of the machining here is a tad excessive, like the display - could make that a straight back with much fewer machining ops that would still look amazing, but I digress). It also helps you have a clear, recognizable style. Why is all the expensive keysight equipment black, rohde&schwarz blue-and-white, and Anritsu Green-and-white? Because that kind of corporate identity matters to your end customers. Even if all of this just sells you 10 or 20 extra machines, on a machine you might sell a few hundred of, that makes a difference. On top of that, you might get away with a few percent higher sales price, which easily offsets any additional cost of the machining. And as a final fact: A lot of these product lines start with startups. Those startups have over-eager (young, fresh grad) designers and engineers who are just excited and lose track of the bigger picture.

Yes will bet the ones in those cases are original designs, the later ones in less fancy are from later on, when the company was bought out by one of the larger ones, and only keep the old machines in the line up because they have either lots of the parts in stock, and the income from consumables is good. Later on they will be discontinued as parts run out, and then the boring generic line will be folded into the parent completely, leaving no trace it ever existed.

I want specs, certificates, TCO metrics and a fair price. I already know that I won't be getting the latter with products like that. Unless it absolutely excels in its actual task, and/or is EXACTLY the package I need, with alternatives with a broader use costing noticably more. Otherwise stuff like that would absolutely warn an shoo me away. Anyone responsible for purchases at those prices that leans towards wanky bling is definitely in the wrong position, if you ask me. Edit: Case in point, as I've continued watching now: I would have NEVER expected this thing to be so very well and solidly engineered and built, based on its "lets just make some suits happy" appearance.

I used to work for a much smaller similar company. Here's the catch 22, these are low volume high cost devices without the designer wankery. Customers come to the manufacturers lab and say, "This is great, it does exactly what I want. But it's expensive and doesn't look that nice, what else can you do to make it look better?". I paraphrase but that's basically what happens. So then you go down the design rabbit hole and end up with this monstrosity, and you charge the customer twice as much but for some reason they now want to pay it. It's broken.

For something with a lot of impressive engineering, there is also a lot of absolutely atrocious engineering. I have a manufacturing background, and those giant monolithic aluminum components are absolutely insane. You're probably looking a close to $1500 in aluminum billets for those two parts you showed at the end, and then throwing away most of it with $4000 worth of machining. It wouldn't have been as elegant, but breaking those components up into several smaller pieces that were bolted or welded together would have seen considerable cost and manufacturing time savings. Couple that with the side panels milled from aluminum sheet, and it's just craziness. "Spare no expense" doesn't mean "design this purposely to be unnecessarily expensive to build". The whole thing screams "biotech engineering intern designed". Bunch of very intelligent, creative college kids, without real-world engineering experience, being told they have no budget constraints. I just cannot see a seasoned mechanical engineer making those pieces out of solid aluminum billets like that, even with an unlimited budget. It's just so wasteful.

Although I agree with you from a perspective that you shouldn't be wasteful, I don't think doing it in a different way is necessarily cheaper (or better). A good example what else might tie in is time (engineering hours). If there is extra engineering time involved into creating parts that bolt together nicely, it could costs the company money as well. Engineers are expensive, and sometimes the seemingly more expensive route is actually cheaper in terms of man power. This is often the case for low volume products, where R&D/design costs make up a much larger portion of the final unit cost compared products sold at volume, where the engineering cost can be spread over many more units. That is just considering the cost of the engineers, not even valuing other key drivers such as the lower time to market (the sooner you can get your product to the customer the better). I work in research, and there too we often go for the 'simple' solution, even though it might be expensive on the face of it, just because spending a few days more on it to drive down the cost, actually costs more in the complete scope of things. Tl;dr there are more key-drivers involved in making design choices, and something which seemingly is a more expensive option on the surface might actually turn out cheaper if you factor those in as well.

That optical block is probably made from Invar, as it has almost zero TC, so the focus does nor change with temperature, and also will nor change with the top being cooled and the base being heated.

No wonder it was 400.000 US$, just imagine how many people with specialised knowledge were engaged in developing, designing and building these things and its not like they sold in millions.

Small valves rely on contact pressure, they probably replace the wiring section to a valve with the valve, so that they only are used once. That way the initial wipe keeps the connection gas tight, and it will not vibrate loose. Yes pneumatics dept and electronics did not talk much to each other, or they had a massive delay on laying out that pneumatic logic board, so did not actually know until late on in the design as to where they were going, how many they would need, and an exact design, as they probably were iterating through designs, trying to get it to both be manufacturable with some sort of yield (likely they had a 50% loss in testing, which is fine if you are charging $400k, make around a dozen a year, and the fluidic assembly takes 2 days to bond together, and another day to pass or fail test, so you always have a stock for testing) that is acceptable and not going to delay any deliveries.

There is a supplier for Electric and Phneumatic PCB near Hamburg. Saw their stuff at the SPS show in Nuremberg in 2016. So it is available, but the number of layers in this manifold is extreme. Although as you say a simple thin multilayer, or even a flexible foil PCB could have done a better job than the extremely expensive wire loom. But looking at the overall concept of this machine, there was little mind given to optimization. At a price of 400k there was surely a fair amout of profit in this. So, inguessbthete is a lot of scope to bring that kind of device to a much lower price point by a less lavish implemebtation an the application of a little judicious production optimization.

Instead of copper it is flow channels (lack of material) and instead of substrate you have poly carbonate.

Probably because it was nearly obsolete when it was received, or the consumables turned out to be too expensive. After all those fluidic plates really are a single time use item, and the reagent stack they also need, likely an identical looking machine you used, that had dozens of reagent stores in a magazine inside it, that all have a short shelf life, need controlled atmosphere and temperature storage, and would run out of only one and need an entire $$$ magazine changed, and then you would have to change them all, because now the batch numbers are different. They probably bought it, then found out that the consumables to run it would eat entirely the entire research budget for the second quarter, so it only ever got used with the initial batch of reagents, or possibly only a second batch, then sat in a corner of the lab, powered on in standby, and only used after if they were absolutely swamped, or something needed this older test done. A lot of lab machinery is like this, too expensive to run when there are near identical machines that do the same or similar work, but where the consumables are cheaper, so they are the work horse, the expensive one only used when absolutely necessary, before it gets dumped when the value amortises down and they can get rid of it.
