Lunatic

Overview

Lunatic makes batch quantification of protein, DNA and RNA a no-brainer. All you need is 2 µL and 10 minutes to measure up to 96 samples.
Run them straight up, even at high concentrations, without ever diluting. Lunatic gets biologics and genomics UV/Vis quantification on the money every time. Just drop, load and read.

Skip the Sample Prep, Cleaning & worry of Cross Contamination or evaporation
Our Lunatic plate runs 96 samples in 10 minutes.
Each microfluidic circuit has two fixed pathlengths built-in to cover a wide dynamic range of 0.03–275 OD.
Just load the Samples & get kickass results.
  • Max out your biologic
Lunatic is the only system out there that can measure biologics at high-throughput and high concentration.Dynamic range: from 0.02 mg/mL to 200 mg/mL (mAb), so run any protein without ever having to dilute again.
  • Ridiculously good data
Get spot-on precision within 1% and accuracy within 2%. Using two fixed pathlengths, Lunatic gets you jaw-dropping data at both low and high protein concentrations and nails the expected concentrations every time.
  • Accuracy you can show off
Lunatic has shocking accuracy and wants to prove it. Using the Fundamentals tryptophan standards, the accuracy, precision and linearity of the instrument can be proven at any time — at the protein-relevant 280 nm wavelength and OD range of 20-225. Be confident about every sample with data that leaves no room for doubt.
  • Downstream ready
Smash through the USP & Ph. Eur. UV/Vis requirements for absorbance accuracy, precision, linearity, wavelength accuracy, stray light and resolution with performance verification measurements of independently certified NIST standards. Lunatic is ready when you are to get validated and make the move into QC.
  • Put it on lockdown
Lunatic’s software hooks labs up with 21 CFR Part 11 compliant features.
  • Dig up your genomic’s dirt
Lunatic analysis software lets you see annoying impurities that classic A260 measurements alone mistake as your DNA or RNA. Ditch the time-sucking, dye-based prep and know right away if your samples are good to go.
  • Set it and forget it
Lunatic talks to robots. Hook it up with any liquid handler system and run your measurements completely hands-off with our API setup and keep more of your precious sample for the rest of your workflow
  • Going smaller
Little Lunatic is there for labs that have fewer samples and lower requirements. It uses a chip-based version of the Lunatic plate to get quick concentration measurements of up to 16 samples in 5 minutes. Researchers that just need a quick check of concentration can get what they need from this little guy
