Lumit® Technology: Fast and Easy Immunodetection

Lumit® Technology enables bioluminescence-based detection of specific antigens or antibodies, simplifying immunoassay protocols and speeding time to results. Based on the award-winning NanoBiT® complementation system, Lumit® Technology powers sensitive and accurate immunoassays for research and clinical applications.

Lumit® Immunoassays provide a faster, more reliable alternative to ELISAs, eliminating the variability associated with multiple wash steps, and providing the convenience of a simple and sensitive luminescent detection method. Because of these advantages, Lumit® Immunoassays are easily adaptable to automation for labs processing large numbers of samples.

Sensitive, Luminescent Analyte Detection

Lumit® Immunoassays use NanoBiT® split-luciferase technology, where antibodies are chemically labeled with the two subunits—small bit (SmBiT) and large bit (LgBiT; 1,2). When these antibodies bind to the target analyte, SmBiT and LgBiT come into close proximity, forming an active luciferase and generating a luminescent signal in the presence of substrate (3>. The small size of the NanoBiT® complementation partners minimizes interference with normal protein function, and the bright signal accommodates low, native expression levels.

Easy, No-Wash Workflow for Automation-Friendly Analyte Detection

The luminescent detection method of the Lumit® Immunoassays eliminates the need for the multiple wash steps, and the simple workflow makes the assays easily adaptable for automation.
