Welcome our revolutionary UCNP technology as a complement to traditional staining

Lumito's UCNP Technology

Our UCNP technology for tissue analysis differs from today’s traditional methods by providing more information from the same tissue sample, which can be saved for potential future use, which saves resources. Our technology enables both traditional histological staining and UCNP staining within the same tissue sample to analyse morphology and antigens. 

The advantages of our UCNP technology are many. It is highly stable, unaffected by photobleaching, and deemed to be more reliable. The samples can be scanned multiple times, tolerates storage better, and can be handled in daylight. The images have higher contrast and granularity compared to traditional immunohistochemistry (IHC), providing better foundations for decision-support tools based on image analysis and artificial intelligence (AI). 

How Lumito’s Technology Works

Our technology is based on an immunohistochemical reagent kit, where UCNP are used as reporters.

  • A primary antibody binds to the target antigen.
  • A secondary antibody then detects the primary antibody.
  • The UCNP-conjugate attaches to the secondary antibody and serves as an indirect reporter for the target antigen.
  • The tissue sample is illuminated with a near-infrared laser in Lumito’s scanner, which excites the upconverted nanoparticles (UCNPs).
  • When the particles are excited, they emit light with a shorter wavelength, allowing visualisation of the antigen’s location in the tissue sample.
