Make Lumencor your Solid-State Illumination Partner

Design & Development

We integrate solid-state lighting with LEDs, Light Pipes and Lasers

Form follows function at Lumencor, where brightness, efficiency and simplicity are key lighting design principals. LEDs, Light Pipes and Lasers satisfy both turnkey, off-the-shelf and custom solutions for all our customers- scientists, engineers, lab managers, distributors and OEMs. Mindful of the customer’s specifications for power, spectral content, temporal control, reproducibility and uniformity, Lumencor satisfies those technical needs with light sources that meet those requirements. Figures of merit that drive our lighting and scanner designs foster best-in-class analyses based on speed, sensitivity, resolution, and image quality.

Discovery & Analysis

Tailored Illumination is at the heart of our design solutions

At Lumencor, we start with the OEM as our customer and delve into what will provide the biggest return on investment for them: performance, value, time to market, all of the above? We evaluate how to optimize the lighting solution that best serve the instrument or tool its been designed to support. Figures of merit that drive performance - efficiency, speed, sensitivity, resolution, image quality - lead our design process.

Prototyping & Testing

Tailor made for performance and value

We build microscope lighting and scanner prototypes with production in our sites. At the heart of our vision of optimized design and development is creativity, efficiency and value. We do the most we can to iterate for performance and cost from a clear vision of the final product concept, thereby meeting and often surpassing our OEM customer expectations.

Technical Support

Scientists and engineers foster the best ROI

Our team of biologists, chemists, physicists, and engineers are trained to be problem solvers. We make the best choices and offer the best advice about the smart technical decisions needed to optimize the instruments we build to support your microscope or test and measurement instrument.

CORE Optical Train

The CORE advances screening instrumentation with an illuminator matched to the fluors’ absorption spectra; optimized filters and dichroic mirrors; a high speed camera; and control electronics. The optical train is optimized for sensitivity and throughput. Hardware packaging and analysis software are the responsibility of our OEM customer or third-party manufacturer. The CORE streamlines scanner development by reducing time and costs for new instruments, improves instrument performance and delivers savings to end users and high volume manufacturers.

TARGA Imager

The TARGA high-throughput imaging system combines all the key components necessary for best data quality and speed: a high-performance solid-state Light Engine, precision motion control, a sCMOS camera and a dedicated computer. Consistent assay performance over days, weeks and months of operation is possible with a uniquely stable, reliable, maintenance-free light source. Scanner options include homeostatic chamber, automated sample-introduction with barcode tracking, confocal imaging capabilities and autonomous operation.

VOLTA Scanner

VOLTA is a Lumencor scanner that can be tailored to provide assay-specific performance, be that for a completely novel assay protocol or for a routine assay that requires optimization for sensitivity or speed. Kinetics on the order of tens of microseconds are routinely monitored. Microtitre plate formats of standardize and custom design are accommodated. Both intra-assay and inter-instrument repeatability is uniquely robust and reproducible.
