Phiton™ Platform Technology
The first and only platform for fluorescence-by-design.
NovaFluors™ are powered by Phiton™ Technology. Phitonex uses a DNA nanotechnology platform to create highly customizable, deterministic fluorescent nanoparticles called Phitons™. This platform enables rapid innovation of labels across the spectrum with high fluorescence transfer efficiencies, minimized cross-excitation, and reduced spectral spillover.
This technology enables us to rapidly design brighter and newer fluorescent labels with incredible alacrity. The Phiton Technology is currently offered in:
- NovaFluor™ Conjugation Kit →
- NovaFluor™ CD4 kits →
- NovaFluor™ Labelled Antibodies →
- NovaBlock™ Solution →

Fluorescence by Design Platform
Single-stranded DNA is combined with component fluorescent dyes and folded into a Phiton structure. This stable, proven DNA nanostructure technology serves as our platform for optical engineering and can be rapidly, consistently, and scalably assembled.
With the platform, we can tune:
- Excitation and emission
- Brightness
- Signatures
