Luma Biophotonics is a deep tech company developing a sensitive, affordable, compact, multi-omics diagnostic platform for personalized healthcare at home.
Luma’s technology is based on Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) — the light-based equivalent of electronic integrated circuits. Silicon PICs are proven to have significant biosensing and diagnostic capabilities. This has been demonstrated by commercial companies and thousands of published scientific papers. However, commercialization of these solutions for home use has been limited due to the high associated costs.
Luma has pioneered and developed the world’s first, fully operational polymeric PICs, which exhibit optical properties comparable to their Silicon counterparts. The significant cost reduction of polymeric PICs, while maintaining comparable optical properties, paves the way towards a sensitive, rapid, multi-omics, low-cost solution for the home testing market.
