Luna Nanotech is a nanotechnology company providing tools for biomedical research and infectious pathogen diagnostics.
About us
Luna Nanotech is a nanotechnology manufacturing company that offers a range of products and solutions for nanomedicine and biomedical research. Our product lines includes biocompatible nanoparticles, molecular biology tools and equipment for DNA and RNA purification, and diagnostic solutions for detection of infectious pathogens. We also offer custom services in nanoparticle synthesis and characterization, and analytical services to quantify nanomaterial distribution in environmental and biological samples. Luna Nanotech is also actively developing diagnostic products that range from simple and highly cost effective point-of-care assays that can be used by research labs and for clinical screening in resource-poor settings, to more sophisticated portable all-in-one devices capable of simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens geared towards centralized and field laboratories. These technologies are expected to improve patient outcomes by facilitating earlier disease detection to help guide informed treatment choices. Our core team of founders and scientists have more than 20 years of experience in the fields of nanomaterial development and biomedical research. We use our extensive expertise to ensure the quality and reproducibility of nanomaterial and molecular biology products offered by Luna Nanotech. Our client base include North American and international research laboratories in such academic institutions as Harvard University, Stanford University, and Berkley National Labs.

Check out the new cool study from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology by Katrien Vandoorne's group. The researchers used Luna Nanotech's CLIO nanoparticles to explore the nanoparticle uptake in hematopoietic bone marrow during inflammation. The ability of superparamagnetic CLIO nanoparticles to be used both as fluorescence and MRI contrast agents allowed the group to combine the information from fluorescence imaging, flow cytometry, intravital microscopy and MRI to simultaneously track nanoparticle distribution both at macro and micro scales. The researchers found that heightened uptake of nanoparticles within the inflamed marrow was attributed to enhanced permeability and retention with increased nanoparticle intake by hematopoietic progenitor cells. Moreover, intravital microscopy showed increased colocalization of nanoparticles within slowly patrolling monocytes in these inflamed hematopoietic marrow niches. Their discoveries unveiled a previously unknown role of the inflamed hematopoietic marrow in enhanced storage and rapid deployment of nanoparticles, which can specifically target innate immune cells at their production site during inflammation.
