Camera-based detection systems
High-precision lateral flow readers
Lumi Flex - "the Generalist"
The stand-alone reader is a versatile and efficient system designed for both reflective and color change tests. It utilizes an advanced camera-based technology that ensures precise measurements and reliable results. The system’s performance is enhanced by high contrast, sharpness, and sensitivity, all of which are made possible through multi-color illumination provided by high-quality LEDs. This ensures accurate readings, even in varying conditions or with different types of tests. One of the standout features of the reader is its ability to define multiple regions of interest (ROI) per cassette or strip. This flexibility allows for more detailed analysis, enabling users to focus on specific areas of the test with precision. The system is designed to adapt to a wide range of tests or strips, offering exceptional versatility. The drawer mechanism can be easily adjusted to accommodate different test formats, ensuring a seamless user experience across various applications.
The system supports external devices such as a barcode reader and label printer, allowing for smooth integration into existing lab processes. Additionally, the included data management software provides a robust platform for organizing and analyzing test results, streamlining data storage and retrieval, and improving overall lab productivity. This comprehensive set of features makes the stand-alone reader an ideal solution for laboratories seeking a flexible, efficient, and user-friendly testing system.
Lumi Flex Fluo - "the Specialist"
The Lumi Flex Fluo is a benchtop lateral flow reader designed for fluorescence-labeled assays using Europium chelates. Marrying affordability with cutting-edge performance, it uses a camera-based detection system with unique calibration and adjustment before each image, supported by proprietary reference material inside the reader, to ensure highest absolute accuracy (<2%) and low measurement variance (<0.5% intra-reader, <3% inter-reader). The system captures the full test strip or test cassette, enabling precise quantification across multiple test and control lines, digital interpretation, barcode scanning, and advanced archiving. Europium fluorescence provides exceptional sensitivity, with UV excitation (~365 nm) and cut-off filter below 600 nm delivering excellent spectral collection and low signal to noise of europium emission but is suitable also for other similar dyes.
Designed for flexibility and connectivity, the Lumi Flex Fluo offers multiple rear ports and optional WLAN, while its 2D barcode reading capability allows new tests to be added via barcode cards or test pouches, and ensures automatic selection of the correct test method to avoid user errors. With intuitive software, a compact benchtop design, and the ability to define multiple regions of interest (ROI) per strip, the Lumi Flex Fluo is a powerful, versatile, and high-sensitivity platform for Europium-based lateral flow testing.

Our technology
Illumination concept
The Lumi Flex and Lumi Flex Fluo uses a novel illumination concept for the objects of choice: The light source is placed on same level than the photographed object and emitted light is reflected and scattered on the dome above the light source. This leads finally to homogeneous illumination of the test object and avoids disturbing shadows or reflections on the raw picture.
Position independent placement
The algorithms of the Lumi Flex and Lumi Flex Fluo allow object recognition among pre-defined geometric properties of the test object. Therefore, the orientation of the test object can vary within the drawer. This gives the user the convenience to place same test objects (e.g. lateral flow cassettes) in different orientation into the drawer or even use more than just one dedicated cassette design. The drawer is therefore no more a specific customized tool for only one single cassette type.
