Lumito develops the tissue diagnostics of the future – basic patent now granted in Europe
Lumito's product comprises an instrument and staining reagents based on UCNPs (up-converting nanoparticles). The instrument is intended for use in tissue diagnostics, to provide pathologists visual depictions of tissue samples as an input for making diagnosis.
The technology is patented across three global patent families that cover the creation of high-quality imaging of tissue, for instance in tumours, with UCNP:s as markers. The technology has several possible application areas, but Lumito has initially decided to focus on tissue diagnostics – digital pathology.
