Welcome to 490 BioTech

490 BioTech is the only company that offers substrate-free bioluminescent human cell lines capable of continuously and autonomously producing light. This revolutionary new approach to optical imaging provides you with increased data acquisition in both tissues and small animal models. By taking advantage of our continuously light producing human cell lines it has finally become possible to break free from the expensive and error prone introduction of substrate and get back to doing what you do best – getting data.
