About us
Creating cutting-edge tools, empowering scientists to drive meaningful progress.
Who we are
We are a company of motivated individuals, working to drive impactful scientific progress. Putting people first, we strive to empower researchers across a range of scientific fields with the tools they need to gain meaningful results.
What we do
We provide advanced solutions for tissue analysis, focusing on the automation of whole-slide imaging and image analysis in biological and pre-clinical research. Our solutions help researchers to analyze complex tissue samples, enabling more detailed insights into tissue structure, cellular interactions, and spatial cell landscape.
Our Values
People focused
At TG, we understand that clients are not just “in” the market, rather they “are” the market. Likewise, the members of our team are not just employed by our company, they constitute the company itself.
Solution-driven development
Our development strategy is defined by what our clients tell us they need for their research, and we are happy to provide the necessary tools.
Authenticity
At TG we value authentic, truthful, and well-grounded communication, both internally and externally with partners, collaborators, distributors, and of course, our clients.
Innovation through collaboration
Since our foundation in 2003 TG has been a trend setter by driving innovation. However, we do not try to “reinvent the wheel” but put trust in global partnerships and collaboration.
