Our Services
Orkyd Innovations
Precision Fabrication & Hands-On Lab Consulting
Catalog vendors push one-size-fits-all solutions.
We’re scientists solving the bottlenecks we’ve wrestled with ourselves.
Every engagement starts with a free consultation and ends when your lab runs smoother, safer, and faster.
Part Replication & Optimization
Lost a critical adapter? Supplier EOL’d a rack? We’ll:
Measure & model the original part for an accurate digital file
Improve capacity, weight, durability, or cost as needed
3D Printing Formats and Materials
-
FDM Materials: PLA, PETG, PET-CF or TPU
-
SLS Materials: Tough Nylon (Formlabs)
-
Other specialized materials will be sourced if needed.
Beyond Solutions
Real Results
Cutting Lab Strain
Custom Workflow Solutions Compatible with Industry-Standard Liquid Handlers
Popular requests include a curved tip-waste chute (avoids cutting holes in benchtops) and custom test-tube adapters in various diameters.
Custom Tool Design
From “there’s got to be a better way” thoughts to bench-ready hardware:
Five-Step Build
Define → Design → Prototype → Optimize → Finalize
Ergonomic risk-reduction is our top criterion; fewer reaches, twists, and repetitive-strain injuries mean fewer downtime hours for your team.
On-Site Consultation
(OC · LA · SD)
We’re local to Southern California, close enough to step into your lab, shadow your workflow, and help spot the inefficiencies others miss.
Our custom solutions are built with your team, for your team, designed to reduce strain, eliminate workarounds, and optimize how your lab performs, one bench at a time.
Lab Driven Design
Custom Benchtop Solutions to Cut Strain, Save Time, and Clear the Clutter
Not all lab supplies are made for how real labs operate.
A Faster, Safer Bench
We design and fabricate custom fixtures that reduce repetitive strain, speed up sample handling, and eliminate bottlenecks at the bench.
​
Common Projects:
Ergonomic racks for 12×75 tubes, microcentrifuge tubes, and 96-well plates
Custom adapters for liquid handlers, centrifuges, or hot-swaps between equipment​
Workflow-specific storage that keeps essentials within reach, and clutter off the bench
Magnetic fixtures that lock tools or Magbead racks for samples in place for single-handed use
These are just a few examples.
We create custom solutions for any benchwork bottleneck, whether you need 1 or 1,000 units.
From high-throughput to hybrid workflows, our tools help your team move faster, with less physical strain.
