Ikonisys SA (Euronext Growth Paris: ALIKO), a company specializing in the early and accurate detection of cancers through a unique fully automated solution for medical analysis laboratories, today announces the achievement of a significant milestone in its commercial journey through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hospitex. Just eight months after its integration into the Group, Hospitex has been awarded another prestigious public tender to supply the innovative Ikoniscope20 robotic microscope to the Department of Pathological Anatomy in Caserta, Italy.

The public tender, valued at €123k, involves the purchase of the Ikoniscope20, a compact version of the world’s most advanced U.S.-manufactured FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) microscope. This milestone marks a breakthrough for Ikonisys Group as it secures its first major foothold in the public sector.

This success closely follows the recent strategic agreement with SYNLAB Italia¹ for the supply of FISH instruments and reagents. These achievements highlight the Ikonisys Group’s ability to perform effectively in both public and private markets, showcasing the robustness of its commercial strategy.

“This tender win not only highlights the technological excellence of the Ikoniscope20 but also validates our growth strategy,” stated Francesco Trisolini, COO of Ikonisys Group. “Entering the public market is a significant step forward, paving the way for future opportunities in both sectors.”

The combined successes in public and private markets position the Ikonisys Group for further growth, setting the stage for additional tenders in 2025. With cutting-edge solutions and a clear strategy, Ikonisys Group is on track to strengthen its leadership in the microscopy and diagnostics sectors.
