Medical robotics for histology lab automation and pathology workflows
Clarapath builds robotic systems for histology laboratories—specifically SectionStar, an electro-mechanical platform designed to automate tissue sample preparation. The tech stack is hardware-heavy (FPGA, C/C++, ROS, I2C, MODBUS) paired with modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes), and the project list reveals a product-stage company actively shipping: device UI, optical and electro-mechanical subsystems, telemetry pipelines, and beta validation. Engineering dominance in hiring (11 of 18 active roles) aligns with the core challenge: scaling robotic system simulation and data ingestion while managing supplier and inventory friction.
Clarapath is a medical robotics company based in Westchester County, New York, building automation systems for pathology laboratories. The core product, SectionStar, is an electro-mechanical platform that automates histology workflows—the process of preparing tissue samples for microscopic diagnosis. The company operates across hardware design, embedded systems, cloud data pipelines, and laboratory operations. Current focus spans device firmware and UI iteration, robotic simulation for testing, optical and mechanical subsystem refinement, and telemetry analytics. The organization is actively scaling engineering and manufacturing capacity while addressing supplier quality and production inventory challenges.
