LiberNovo Omni Pro earns Ergonomic Product Certification from United States Ergonomics.

HONG KONG, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LiberNovo today announced that LiberNovo Omni Pro has earned Ergonomic Product Certification from United States Ergonomics (USE), following laboratory testing with 18 participants and at least one month of real-world office or home use. The evaluation examined fit, pressure distribution, muscle activity and comfort during use. For a chair designed to maintain support as people change position, the certification provides independent evidence for its Dynamic Ergonomics approach, taking the "ergonomic" claim beyond product descriptions into laboratory measurements and everyday experience.

Independent testing, in the lab and at work

Based in Glen Head, New York, USE is an independent ergonomics testing and consulting organization. Its work spans product-design consulting, human-factors testing, competitive evaluation and certification, covering office, aviation and automotive seating, keyboards, mice, hand tools and medical equipment.

The certification assessment comprised two stages: controlled laboratory testing, followed by extended office or home trials. Both stages had to meet the certification criteria. USE's product-certification program combines objective measurements with user feedback to assess how a product fits and performs in use.

Four ways to assess support

Anthropometric Fit assessed body fit and adjustment range across approximately the 5th to 95th percentiles of body size. Pressure Mapping measured how weight was distributed across the seat and backrest, identifying areas of concentrated contact pressure. EMG Testing, or electromyography, recorded muscle activity during the evaluation.

A Two-hour Sitting Task simulated continuous office work, collecting ratings for comfort, performance and ease of adjustment. Together, these methods examined the relationship between physical fit, support and the sitting experience. After laboratory testing, participants used the chair in their usual workspaces and submitted ratings and feedback.

What the results show

An ergonomic claim is a starting point. Testing helps show what happens when people adjust a chair, sit over time and change position.

Among study participants, 89% reported that dynamic support was mostly or fully maintained during posture changes, indicating continuity of support as they moved. During the two-hour sitting task, comfort scored 9.2/10, reflecting participants' experience beyond an initial seated impression.

Ease of adjustment scored 9.1/10, while lumbar-support adjustment scored 9.6/10, suggesting that participants could set up and fine-tune support without substantial difficulty. Across the muscles tested, EMG activity stayed below 2.2% of maximum voluntary contraction, indicating low measured muscular effort during the assessed tasks. Separately, 78% of participants said seat ventilation improved thermal comfort, describing a benefit they could feel during use.

These findings describe the tested participants and conditions; individual fit and experience can vary.

Fit includes movement

"Movement is good," said Kevin Costello, a Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE). "When I say fit, I don't just mean body size. I mean a dynamic fit like movement."

His explanation connects fit with continued support through changing postures. A chair's dimensions and adjustment range are part of that relationship, alongside how its supporting surfaces respond when a person shifts, leans back or returns to a working position.

Designed around changing positions

LiberNovo positions its design as the "World's First Dynamic Ergonomic Chair," built around the principle that support should move with the user.

LiberNovo Omni Pro's Bionic FlexFit Backrest adapts to back contours and posture changes. SynchroLink Dynamic Support coordinates the neck support, backrest, armrests and seat as the user moves. OmniStretch provides active rest through movement of the lumbar support, stretching the lower back while the user reclines. Active AirFlow helps manage heat and moisture during longer seated sessions. Adjustable neck support and armrests, with an optional footrest, accommodate different work modes.

Support for modern workspaces

LiberNovo Omni Pro suits private offices, shared workstations, focus areas, meeting rooms, creative studios and hybrid workplaces. Five recline positions span 105° to 160°, complemented by adjustable seat height and 4D armrests. Removable neck support and a detachable rechargeable battery allow flexibility in setup and workspace planning.

Flagship Apex versatility in a compact 2.5kWh format—big enough for real backup, light enough to move, and built to scale.

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BLUETTI today launched the Apex 200—a streamlined, highly portable solar generator tailored for home emergency backup, power grid reliability, RV travel, and off-grid living. Early pricing is available across launch packages from November 4 through November 18, with the standalone Apex 200 portable power station starting at $1,099.

"After the well-acclaimed Apex 300, the number one piece of feedback we heard was simple: users loved the modular versatility, but wanted it in a package they could easily manage day-to-day," said James Ray, Marketing Director at BLUETTI. "The Apex 200 is our answer. It's not just a smaller battery—it's a flexible everyday powerhouse built to start smaller for emergency backup, with a clear, stress-free path to scale up as your life and power needs grow." 

Start Small. Scale Big. Power More.

Bringing flagship Apex versatility into a compact 2.56kWh format, the Apex 200 offers a more accessible entry point designed to start small and scale as power needs evolve.

  • Base Unit Performance
    Combines 2,560Wh of LFP capacity with a robust 3.2kW~3.6kW AC output (3.6kW with expansion or active charging) in a sleek 26.9kg enclosure.
     
  • Single-Unit Expansion (Up to 33.28kWh)
    A single Apex 200 unit connects with up to six B500K expansion batteries to reach its individual max capacity of 33.28kWh. For typical power outages, adding one or two B300K batteries can extend essential home backup to 2–3 days.
     
  • Parallel System (Up to 6kW/~ 100kWh)
    Links up to three Apex 200 units via HUB A1 to deliver 6kW continuous AC output and ~100kWh total capacity for whole-home backup.

3kW Solar Input, 280V High-Voltage

For extended outage and off-grid independence, the Apex 200 delivers up to 3kW of high-voltage solar input across two independent channels—combining a 2kW high-voltage MC4 input (60V–280V MPPT range) and a 1kW low-voltage XT60 input. When paired with an array of high-efficiency SORA 500 portable solar panels to maximize its 3kW input capacity, the system tops up the battery from 0 to 80% in just 50 minutes and achieves a full 100% charge in 1.7 hours using solar energy alone. Combined with wall AC, gas generators, and vehicle charging, it serves as a flexible home battery backup system built for both severe weather and outdoor adventures.

RV-Ready: Native RV Ports in a Smaller Footprint
