Our Breakthrough

Bioluminescent development has long focused on harnessing natural enzymes, such as luciferase, to generate light. Historically, these systems produced flash-type brightness, characterized by short bursts of light, but they were unable to sustain long-duration light output. Our company has pioneered advancements in this space, leveraging decades of scientific progress, modern tools, and the dedication of our talented team to create an improved bioluminescent system that delivers sustained, long-duration light.

We are now walking hand-in-hand with nature's evolutionary processes, and by selecting for successive generations of better performing enzymes we are able to speed up and tune the selective nature of evolution in order to develop enzymes that perform better in a cell-free, industrial environment.

Join Our Team

We're looking for innovative talent who want to join us in changing the world.

By working with the enzymes responsible for natural bioluminescence and evolving them to work for industrial purposes, we are able to create strong, dependable, and shelf stable formulas. These enzymes are brewed in bioreactors—no fireflies are harmed in the making of our products :)

  • Slower Flash-Type Decay Curve

  • Reduced Affinity to Inhibitors
