Our Purpose

Mission

To eliminate the manual bottlenecks of pathology by building the transformational tools of the future. Through our core innovations, we empower laboratories to improve speed and consistency for every case.

vision

A world where every specimen, in every lab, receives the highest standard of care through the perfect integration of robotics, AI, and human expertise.

Values

Our values are the foundation for how we work and how we move forward. They guide our decisions, shape our culture, and keep us focused on creating meaningful progress in pathology.

Our Story

FormaPath was born from a simple observation: while most of the medical world was leaping forward with digital transformation, the pathology “back-end," the physical handling of tissue, remained largely analog.

Execute your expertise

We believe the most valuable asset of laboratory professionals is their expertise, not their manual labor. By automating the physical "grunt work," we free experts to focus on the high-level analysis that saves lives.

American-Made Innovation

We are proud to design, manufacture, and assemble the next generation of hardware in the United States. From Ithaca to Brooklyn, our facilities are hubs of local engineering excellence.

The Power of Automation

The gross room should be a sterile, fluid enviroment. Through nToto, we are pioneering the first truly hands-free, AI-integrated workflow in pathology.

Zero-Loss Integrity

Every lymph node matters. Our AdiPress technology is built on the belief that no diagnostic detail should ever be left behind in a specimen bucket. If it's there, we find it.
