We offer full consulting services for all aspects of an assay, conjugation, or antibody development project. These services involve everything from the application of our knowledge of immunogen design to helping with the generation of highly avid and specific antibodies to manufacturing transfer projects. The scientists at Luminos have been involved in the generation and applications of a wide array of technologies, scale ups, and assay development projects for a number of companies and industries. We will not attempt any projects that are outside our experiences and knowledge – however, we will offer suggestions, typically free of charge, on alternatives if we are not the best choice for the project. We are firm believers in the sentiments in this quote:

We will undertake as many projects or as much of a project as you wish us to undertake. We have the capacity to develop, validate and manufacture the entire assay if you so request. We are not a GMP/GLP facility at this time but the founders have worked in all of these aspects at both life sciences companies and within the FDA regulated diagnostics industry. We can manufacture product for acceptance as components under the FDA’s 510k premarket approval process.

Please remember that we are only as good as the information we receive from you, our customer. We need a well-defined idea of what you would like made. Typically that only happens after we have a signed non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The NDA can be either a one-way, or more preferable, a two-way version. After the NDA has been put in place you should tell us everything you know about the molecule and everything you want to get from the product we’re building. This information allows us to complete the contractual work rapidly and at least cost to you.

We typically carry out projects on a time and materials basis. After adequate discussion we can generate an assessment of the amount of time that will be required to complete the project. You only pay for actual Luminos scientist time, plus any special raw materials such as custom antibodies, enzymes, or outside synthetic work. Again, please remember, you do not pay for our services when the rabbits, mice, goats or chickens are generating antibodies, or when one of our contract synthetic companies are making peptides or organic conjugates. You only pay for our work time.
