On behalf of Lumito, RISE has developed protocols for development of reagents for tissue staining based on UCNPs (UpConverting NanoParticles). The stained tissue samples are scanned with Lumitos scanner to obtain high-contrast imaging without background information. RISE delivered the results of the development effort at the end of June. During spring, Lumito has established a laboratory capacity of its own, with a high level of expertise in functionalization of upconverting nanoparticles; the final optimization will now be conducted on the Company's own account. This is consistent with the Company's strategy to gradually build up its own organization possessing the skills and capacity required to continue development and management of its current and future products. The objective is for the reagents and scanner to be completed and ready for verification and external validation by third quarter.
