The gold standard for EV characterization

Our Vision?

Becoming the golden standard for EV characterization in research and clinical applications.

How We Do It?

Through next-generation imaging flow cytometry delivering unprecedented EV analysis.

Turning vesicle messaging into routine diagnostics

Lumnora delivers a compact imaging flow cytometer that listens to the extracellular vesicle traffic of every cell. In one automated run, labs gain the sharpness of super-resolution microscopy, the sensitivity of light-sheet microscopy, the throughput of cytometry, and AI-ready datasets that translate straight into clinical programs.

Platform built for clinical adoption

Photonics, microfluidics, and AI collapse into one workflow so teams move from raw biofluids to vesicle signatures in a single session.

🔬

Light-Sheet Microscopy

Increased sensitivity enabling parallel EV analysis with higher throughput, plus 3D imaging of cells in their native environment.

↑ Sensitivity · Parallel Analysis

Structured-Illumination

Optical imaging of sub-200 nm features, covering the full EV dimensional range (30-200 nm) for reliable co-localization studies.
