Luminos®

Genomic profiling built for patient decision making in clinical trials that cannot afford to wait.

Luminos® is Discovery Life Sciences’ clinical genomic profiling platform: IVDR-compliant, in-house, and purpose-built for oncology clinical trials. Luminos® Comprehensive is available now. Luminos® Liquid launches Fall 2026.

The trials Luminos® was built to serve.

Oncology clinical trials demand genomic answers at enrollment speed. Too many sponsors compromise, accepting slower turnaround from outsourced reference labs or narrower panels that miss the biomarker they needed to find. Regulatory delays due to burdensome performance studies frequently delay EU clinical trial starts relative to the rest of the world. Luminos is built around a different premise: that the combination of panel breadth, in-house operational control, and IVDR regulatory standing should not require a trade-off.

Luminos® Comprehensive delivers 164-gene pan-tumor profiling in 7 to 10 days from our Kassel, Germany facility, deployed as a CAP/CLIA compliant, in-house device under Health Institution status, one of the few configurations in the EU market that enables prospective clinical trial use without a performance study. It is the clinical genomics offering Discovery Life Sciences has built to support sponsors at the most consequential moment of a trial: enrollment.

What makes Luminos® different

EU-Based, In-House Deployment

All Luminos® testing is performed in-house at our Kassel, Germany facility with dedicated project and data management support. No third-party reference lab handoffs. No cross-border sample shipping delays. Data stays in the EU, and turnaround stays predictable.

Health Institution Status Under IVDR Article 5(5)

Luminos® tests are deployed as in-house laboratory-developed tests under Health Institution status with dedicated, enabling prospective EU clinical trial use without the performance study requirement that apply to most commercially sourced alternatives. Few providers can make this claim.

In-House Speed. Across Every Assay.

Because every Luminos® test is performed in-house at our Kassel, Germany facility, there are no third-party handoffs and no cross-border delays. That operational structure, not the panel itself, is what allows Luminos® to deliver results faster than reference laboratory alternatives, across tissue and liquid specimen types.

Luminos® within Discovery Life Sciences

Luminos® is the genomic profiling platform through which Discovery Life Sciences enters the clinical genomics market, purpose-built for oncology clinical trials and anchored in validated science, regulatory compliance, and operational speed.

Discovery Life Sciences supports the full drug development cycle across biospecimen procurement, specialty lab services, and genomic and proteomic analysis. Luminos® is Discovery Life Sciences’ clinical genomics offering within a Specialty Lab Services portfolio that also delivers research-grade genomics, proteomics (Olink protein profiling and mass spectrometry), molecular pathology (IHC, mIF, ISH), clinical flow cytometry, and companion diagnostic services from development through post-approval. For sponsors seeking an integrated single-partner approach from sample collection to multi-omic data delivery, Luminos® is the clinical genomics anchor within that broader capability.
