Based on a new proprietary approach, Luminartis® is able to provide fluorescent dyes with excellent water solubility and concomitantly a minimal contribution to the charge pattern of the microenvironment. This improved "biocompatibility" gives rise to unsurpassed results with decreased background, increased sensitivity and improved signal. The dyes are commercially available as Oyster® dyes.
