After creating and some refinement of TwoPoreGuys’ Helix “Orca” device concept for their universal biosensor, a new interest grew for a similar concept but in a new device named DNA Hubby.

The DNA Hubby would allow for multiple consumables to be used at once so tests could be performed rapidly.

Each hub also had the option to be daisy-chained for increased hardware power and to be able to run even more tests at once if desired. TwoPoreGuys wanted to further explore the idea of modular designs, which led to the Chubby Hubby.

Unlike the Helix “Orca” device concept or the DNA Hubby, the Chubby Hubby was started as a concept focused primarily on function – trying to get the most out of stacking and combining the hardware.

This led to the design to deviate from the smooth, curvy designs originally visualized.
