Silicon based photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are proven to have significant 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. This breakthrough makes multi-omics home testing a reality for the first time!
