Cytovale®, a commercial-stage medical diagnostics company focused on advancing early detection technologies to diagnose fast-moving and immune-mediated diseases, today announced it has raised $100 million in Series D funding led by Sands Capital. The round included participation from new investor Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments), as well as existing investors Norwest Venture Partners, Global Health Investment Corporation and Breakout Ventures, an early backer of the company. Cytovale will use the funding to build upon its early clinical success and accelerate commercial expansion of IntelliSep to more hospital emergency departments (ED) and health systems nationwide.

Cytovale is committed to improving patient care by pioneering early detection technologies that assess immune activation to accelerate the time it takes to get from triage to life-saving therapies. Cytovale's U.S. Food and Drug Administration-cleared rapid sepsis diagnostic, IntelliSep®, leverages machine learning and advanced microfluidics to provide Emergency Department clinicians with an objective and highly sensitive early detection tool for sepsis. IntelliSep measures the dysregulated immune system response to infection that would indicate sepsis and generates results in about eight minutes using a standard blood draw.
