StageBio Expands Its Global Presence With Acquisition of TPL Path Labs

Company extends preclinical and clinical histopathology/molecular pathology solutions to researchers on both sides of the Atlantic

StageBio, a leading provider of GLP-compliant necropsy, histology, pathology and specimen archiving services for both preclinical and clinical research, announced its acquisition of TPL Path Labs of Freiburg, Germany. The combined organization offers an expanded array of histopathology, molecular pathology, toxicology, digital image analysis and related solutions to biopharma, medical device and academic researchers across the U.S., Europe and beyond. StageBio is a portfolio company of Ampersand Capital Partners.

The acquisition expands StageBio’s preclinical and clinical laboratory resources, adding a GLP/GCLP-compliant lab facility and staff in Germany to the company’s existing six GLP-compliant lab facilities and two GLP specimen archive sites in the U.S. This strengthens StageBio’s ability to deliver services internationally, reducing the need to ship study materials overseas. Uniform technology platforms and protocols across the U.S. and European operations ensure consistent quality, accuracy and efficiency.
