Lucentix ^Company

Lucentix is a company based in Lausanne, Switzerland that develops biosensor technology. Their biosensors allow patients to measure analyte concentrations in a single drop of blood or saliva using a low-cost handheld device that provides laboratory-quality results. The biosensors are based on a new type of biochemical sensing molecule that uses luciferase, a light-producing enzyme, to change the color of the emitted light in response to changes in analyte concentration. The absence of analyte results in red light emission, while high analyte concentration results in blue light emission.
