Cryo tech for microscope samples wins $1.6 million in funding

CryoCapCell (Paris) said Tuesday that it has raised €1.5 Million ($1.6 million) from Seventure Partners’s Quadrivium 1 seed capital fund.

The money will go toward CryoCapCell’s technology to freeze living tissue samples through ultra-rapid, high-pressure vitrification (or cryogenisation), preventing the alteration of biological structures. The goal is to initially use the technology for cancer research electron-microscopy.
