An Integrated Diagnostic Technology Platform
The Luminostics / Clip Health technology platform combines advanced detection materials, biological assays, diagnostic instrumentation, and software developed through years of multidisciplinary research, engineering, and commercial product development.
Originating from academic research in persistent luminescent nanomaterials, the platform evolved into integrated diagnostic systems encompassing phosphorescent detection chemistry, immunoassays, point-of-care and at-home analyzers, image processing, and mobile software.
The associated technologies, engineering assets, and technical know-how are available for potential licensing and new commercial applications through Afterglow Dx.
01 — Phosphorescent Nanoparticles & Bioconjugates
Persistent luminescent phosphors, nanoparticle surface chemistry, silica encapsulation, functionalization, and antibody–phosphor bioconjugates developed for sensitive optical detection.
The platform leverages phosphorescent materials and time-resolved detection methods to distinguish analytical signals from background fluorescence and other optical interference.
02 — Diagnostic Assays
Lateral-flow immunoassays, diagnostic reagents, assay development methods, and associated manufacturing technologies developed for infectious-disease testing and related applications.
These technologies integrate biological recognition, phosphorescent detection labels, assay chemistry, and cartridge-based test formats.
03 — Point-of-Care & At-Home Analyzers
Smartphone-based and dedicated diagnostic analyzer platforms incorporating optical detection, time-gated imaging, electronics, embedded systems, and instrument-control technologies.
Development progressed through multiple generations of instrumentation, culminating in the Clip COVID Rapid Antigen Test analyzer and the second-generation Core platform, designed for cost-effective, high-performance diagnostic testing at scale.
04 — Software & Data Analysis
Mobile applications, instrument-control software, image-processing algorithms, signal analysis, data-processing methods, and supporting computational technologies developed for integrated diagnostic systems.
The software platform supports guided test workflows, analyzer connectivity, optical signal interpretation, and diagnostic result presentation.
