"The Histolix technology heralds a radically new approach to the preparation of the images required by pathologists to interpret biopsy specimens. Since its origins in the 19th century, pathology has been constrained by a laborious and time consuming process of fixation, dehydration, paraffinization, rehydration and staining requiring skilled technologists and expensive equipment. Histolix technology promises to dramatically reduce the time required to prepare these images, and simultaneously permit a direct-to-digital pathologic evaluation framework, enabling pathology to emulate radiology in rapid evaluation and dissemination of biopsy findings. Histolix makes preparation of digital images suitable for pathologic evaluation accessible to a wide range of users, including satellite lab facilities, veterinary laboratories, and resource constrained laboratories all over the world."

Histolix has raised $1M in SAFE funding and has completed its initial equivalency validation trial which demonstrated an FDA level of performance (under 4% discordance) as a primary diagnostic tool.* With a blinded study of 100 tissues and 22 tissue types with four third party expert readers, Histolix demonstrated its under 5 minute direct to digital imaging equivalence to standardized H&E diagnosis which takes days to weeks to complete.  Histolix is now raising up to $15M in its Series A round, the funds of which will be used to finalize FDA trials in preparation for commercial launch.
