StabiLux Biosciences® produces High-Brightness Dyes™ that are poised to unleash the next 50 years of biomedical innovation.

Stabilux Biosciences®, a Michigan Technological University (MTU) spinout,
has developed proprietary, high-brightness fluorophores (dyes) for biomedical
applications. The result is NovoLux® High-Brightness Dyes™ , 2X to 1,000X brighter than any commercial dye, increasing the detection sensitivity of multi-color flow
cytometry.

Our NovoLux® dyes can be used with existing flow cytometry equipment, and allow
researchers to detect what was previously undetectable. NovoLux® High-Brightness Dyes™ also have a novel feature, tunable brightness, meaning that the precise increase in brightness of a single color can be made allowing rare events to be detected without interfering with adjacent signals.

Leveraging $2.7M in funding , 5 years of development, and feedback from early customers, StabiLux® is looking to raise its next round of funding.

NovoLux® High-Brightness Dyes™ offers a drop-in platform technology, allowing researchers to detect what was previously undetectable while enabling existing equipment to be used to its fullest potential without the need for additional parts or new software. For example, NovoLux® High-Brightness Dyes™ enables faster development of medical treatments by precisely controlling and increasing the brightness of dyes used in flow cytometers. This is a game-changing solution for biomedical researchers.

NovoLux® high brightness dyes™ are 2X to 1000X brighter than common commercial dyes, virtually eliminating the spillover and auto-fluorescence problems that exist with
other dyes. Consider the following:

• A drop-in technology compatible with existing instrumentation
• Excellent water solubility and stability
• Easy to conjugate with antibodies
• Extremely Photostable - offering future growth to ELISA and microscopy

With NovoLux® High-Brightness Dyes™ from StabiLux Biosciences®, cell properties that were previously undetected by cytometers can now be identified, giving pharmaceutical researchers improved results and allowing them to focus on the best treatments sooner.

How does NovoLux® High-Brightness Dyes™ make this possible? We make dyes brighter than anyone – tunable brightness in any color, a novel feature that can precisely control the signal brightness without interfering adjacent spectra.

StabiLux® develops, produces, and sells NovoLux® high-brightness dyes™ (fluorophores) to increase the capabilities of existing multicolor flow cytometry equipment and testing methods.

With our NovoLux® high-brightness fluorophores, flow cytometer can be used to its full potential without the need for expensive hardware and software upgrades.

Furthermore, NovoLux® high-brightness fluorophores have tunable brightness (a unique feature), meaning a single color can be made brighter to detect low abundance cells while not interfering with other colors. Read more about our technology and it's applications.
