About LightIntegra Technology, Inc.
LightIntegra Technology is a privately funded medical diagnostics company and launched from the Canadian Blood Services R&D labs through the efforts of research scientist Dr. Elisabeth Maurer. LightIntegra strives to minimize platelet refractoriness. To this end, LightIntegra created ThromboLUX, a rapid in-vitro test that provides size distribution information for microparticles in blood products. As a routine test for platelet concentrates, ThromboLUX may identify which platelet units would be best suited for prophylaxis and which units are better suited for therapeutic use. Her years of research on platelet function led to a breakthrough discovery using dynamic light scattering to characterize platelets. Dr. Maurer recognized the opportunity to use this breakthrough - coupled with advances in laser and optics technology - to address a market need to provide a safe, quick and simple diagnostic test for microparticles, platelet quality and function.
