Fluorescent and Chemical Reagent Development

Luminous Consulting bridges the fluorescence chemistry, biological application areas and technology platforms necessary for successful reagent development from product positioning and launch. We can facilitate collaborations and corporate partnerships to bring your novel chemistries to life.

Do you have a chemistry that might be interesting to cell biologists and immunologists but would benefit from insight into what biological application needs or technology platforms would be ideal?

Do you need insight into quality assurance guidelines, testing parameters and stability protocols for a potential product?

Do you need the right collaborators or corporate partnership to take your novel chemistry to the next level of development?

Do you need help with strategic marketing, SWOT analysis and determining the value of your product?

Technologies could include but certainly aren’t limited to:

•       DNA Origami

•       Multimer assembling fluors

•       Biosensors/ live-cell reagents

•       Probes for FRET and fluorescence lifetime assays

•       Nanocrystal technology

•       Fluorescent organic polymers

•       Fluorescent proteins

•       Reagents for super-resolution, TIRF, 3D imaging and tissue clearing

•       High Throughput and High Content screening reagents

Kelly Lundsten was one of the key team members at Biolegend to introduce the Brilliant Violet™ family of fluorophores (Sirigen/ BD Biosciences) for use in biological applications. You can watch the first video describing this novel technology in 2010. Here is also a list of reagents Kelly has launched thus far in her career that relate to reagent research/development and commercialization :

•     Brilliant Violet™ 421, 510, 570, 605, 650, 711, 750, 785 

•     Zombie Fixable Live/Dead Reagents

•     PE/Dazzle™ 594

•     PE/Fire™ 640
