Technology

Bioluminescent Assay in Real-Time (BART) is a novel reporter system, exclusive to Lumora, designed to be used with isothermal nucleic acid amplification technologies.  Its primary purpose is as a tool for molecular diagnostics.

Put simply, BART causes the sample itself to emit light when a test result is positive.  This means BART is extraordinarily simple to implement:  you just need to watch the light being produced from samples.  Further, as the BART assay emits plenty of light, there is no need for highly sensitive light detection apparatus.

The simplicity of BART enables uncomplicated, low-cost, very robust hardware to be used.  This is a major break-through as molecular diagnostics is typically associated with complex, fragile and expensive hardware.
