The Challenge

Physicians often need to know the composition of tissue removed during procedures in order to provide the most accurate diagnosis. Current immediate evaluation techniques do not enable physicians to preview the entire tissue without destroying it. The result is a low-quality sample that often leads to repeat procedures.

The Solution

Instapath introduces an innovative way to evaluate the composition of the entire fresh sample within minutes at the point-of-procedure and preserve it for downstream testing.
