LUMICKS is a life-science instrumentation company that builds tools to directly measure molecular and cellular interactions. Its Dynamic Single-Molecule platform, the C-Trap, uses optical tweezers to resolve real-time biomolecular interactions at the single-molecule level, while its Cell Avidity platforms (Avidion and the compact z-Movi) quantify the binding strength between immune cells and their targets for immuno-oncology, CAR-T, and antibody-therapeutics research. The developer surface is client-side: the official Apache-2.0 Python library lumicks.pylake analyzes single-molecule optical-tweezer data exported from the Bluelake acquisition software (force calibration, force-distance curve fitting, kymo/scan imaging, kymotracking, population dynamics), and bluelake-scripting automates instrument control. LUMICKS publishes no hosted public web API.
