About Us
We are a dedicated small team of entrepreneurs, scientists, and engineers with a combined professional experience of over 70 years in laboratory automation. Our shared passion for innovation and precision unites us.
Having worked extensively with dispensers and pipettors throughout our careers, we have firsthand knowledge of the challenges in achieving reproducible and trustworthy assay results. We understand the frustration that comes with inconsistent data, and we recognize the critical need for accuracy in every step of the process.
This deep understanding has led us to a firm belief that laboratory automation requires more robust quality control systems. We are committed to addressing this need because we know it is essential for advancing scientific research and development.
This belief is what drives us each day, and it is the foundation upon which we have built our journey with Liquimetrix.

Software
Intuitive web interface
LUMINA comes with an integrated control software, which can be accessed via an intuitive web interface.
- Setup, run and manage scans on the device
- Setup and manage labware-files, which are required for each type of labware
- Customize data export into virtually any output format
- Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android using your latest browser
- REST-API for integration into automation systems, via e.g. SILA
Benefits
How can I benefit from using a system like LUMINA?
Save
Save time & budget, as reagents and labware are expensive, and assay repetitions block resources
Build
Build on your results, as they become more reliable and reproducible
Advance
Advance your assays with additional process information that enables further improvements
FAQ
01What type of labware is supported?
LUMINA can read volumes from virtually any assay plate with SBS-specifications, and a maximum height of 20mm. Some of the most frequently used 384 and 1536 well plates are already calibrated by our team.
02Does LUMINA require calibration for specific labware and liquids?
Yes, labware and liquid needs to be calibrated once
03Can I use LUMINA in my automated environment?
Yes you can. In fact, automation has been a design requirement from the very beginning. Contact us for more information on how to integrate LUMINA into your workflow.
04How can I consume the data produced by LUMINA?
The information obtained by the device can be used in different scenarios: Quick assay assessment by hands, scheduled measurement in an automated workflow - the data output can be customized and taylored to your needs!
