Born from a shared desire to make a difference, Llusern Scientific Ltd. (Llusern) is a life science company specialising in affordable, portable, easy-to-use molecular diagnostics. We believe no-one should die from a treatable disease.

Llusern’s mission is to be a values-driven, sustainable business creating innovative products that have a positive impact on society. More specifically, Llusern aims to revolutionise the molecular testing market by providing an affordable and rapid point of care (POC) diagnostic testing platform, capable of providing highly accurate results in 40 minutes. Our vision is to be a part of the change to a world where anyone, anywhere has access to accurate diagnostic testing and appropriate treatment.

Our first product is a UTI test panel, capable of detecting >95% of uropathogens at point-of-care.

Our Story

Llusern’s co-founders all met while working at the University of South Wales. The story began back in 2016 when the team received seed funding from the Longitude Prize for their work on UTIs. Between them, they have over 50 years experience in molecular biology, microbiology and biomedical engineering. Our story continues to unfold… follow our journey here.

Our Vision

Our vision is to be a part of the change to a world where anyone, anywhere has access to accurate diagnostic testing and appropriate treatment. No-one should die from a preventable disease.

Our Mission

Our mission is to reduce existing barriers to accurate diagnostic tools – working with our partners to bring diagnostic testing out of the highly specialised lab environment and truly to point-of-care – in any environment
