By GlobalDataThe consumable products include the BxBoard, a device for collecting and transporting tissue samples that aims to replace the use of formaldehyde bottles, thereby streamlining the process for surgical and lab staff and enhancing the quality of tissue samples.
Another product, BxChip, is said to be a biomimetic organic polymer chip designed to hold needle-core biopsies in place, which helps in maintaining the orientation of the tissue and minimising the chance of tissue loss during diagnostic processes.
