Application Areas

Lumito’s technology addresses challenges in several application areas, which can be divided into three main groups: 

  • Drug development
  • Academic research
  • Clinical diagnostics*

In these areas, existing methods for tissue analysis have gaps in relation to sensitivity and precise quantification, gaps that are bridged with the Lumito SCIZYS system. The SCIZYS system thus allows for a higher degree of objectivity in judgments and decision-making.

* Lumito’s platform is not approved for clinical use and assessment of patient results for diagnostic purposes is not an approved application.

An open immunohistochemistry system

The Lumito SCIZYS system is an open platform for immunohistochemistry (IHC). The SCIZYS UCNPs can be attached to any biotinylated molecule and the system is agnostic to tissue type, enabling a wide range of uses. We are co-developing application areas together with our customers and partners. Areas with significant interest and potential include:

  • Optimising cut points for patient stratification for the next generation of ADCs
  • Quantitative displacement experiments in development of ADCs
  • Measuring subtle changes in pre-clinical models for degenerative diseases where traditional IHC images appear saturated
  • Tissue Cross Reactivity studies
  • Replacing visual categorization with quantitative analysis during drug development
  • Algorithmic quantification of specific biomarkers, using morphology and biomarker expression from different channels in the same sample
  • A very sensitive and stable label complementing multiplexed immunofluorescence studies
  • Virtual annotations in development of immunohistochemistry AI applications
