HiloProbe, based in Umeå, secures SEK 3 million in funding from existing owners for sales initiation. The capital injection aims to attract more investment and reach a break-even point. The company is close to a breakthrough with ColoNode, a reagent kit for analyzing lymph nodes in colorectal cancer patients.
Swedish biotech company HiloProbe has reached a significant milestone after the results of a prospective multicenter study conducted in collaboration with Umeå University and eight Swedish hospitals were published in the International Journal of Cancer. The study results show that HiloProbe's ColoNode kit improves colon cancer diagnostics and can help more patients survive.
