Stable, high quality light sources are critical to the performance of today’s life science tools.

Beaverton, Oregon—June 25, 2008—Lumencor™ , a biotechnology company developing lighting solutions for the life sciences, announced today its smart light engines for bioanalysis. This new generation of lighting for biotech is currently available for Beta testing at select labs in the US and Europe. Lumencor’s light engines are designed to replace traditional light sources. They meet the needs of manufacturers developing bioanalytical instruments and scientists involved in advanced research and diagnostic testing.

According to Steven Jaffe, Ph.D., Lumencor CEO and founder, “The life science industry is undergoing fundamental change. Researchers are placing greater demand on their analytical equipment for increasingly sensitive and specific analyses. They are designing smaller, more mobile analytical instruments with flexible, high performance light sources. Lumencor’s smart light engines meet this need.”
