Cornell Medical Instruments

What Cornell Medical Instruments does

Cornell Medical Instruments, a brand of Incise Healthcare (Incise Infotech Limited), is a Noida, India-based B2B distributor of advanced medical and research equipment serving hospitals, eye-care institutions, diagnostic laboratories, and academic research centers across India. Founded in 2010 with a reported 12 employees, the company aggregates a 75+ SKU portfolio spanning ultra-widefield retinal imaging (Optos), clinical and research microscopy (Nikon, CrestOptics, Tomocube), scientific cameras (Hamamatsu), fluorescence illumination (CoolLED), temperature-controlled stages (Linkam), tissue cytometry and image analysis (TissueGnostics), intravital microscopy (IVIM), and AI-driven digital pathology (Qritive). Its exclusive India distribution arrangement with Optos for 200-degree non-mydriatic retinal imaging and authorized reseller relationships with nine global OEMs are the foundation of its commercial positioning.

The underlying technology stack centers on hardware distribution with integrated software platforms: PANTHEON (a CE-marked, HSA-registered, vendor-agnostic, cloud-ready pathology workflow platform with whole-slide imaging, AI-supported diagnosis, and structured reporting), NIS-Elements and OptosAdvance for imaging review, and DICOM-compliant connectivity to PACS, EMR, and LIS systems. AI capability is delivered entirely through partner products - Qritive QAi Prostate, StrataQuest phenotyping tools, and IVIM's AI-Image Denoiser - none of which is developed in-house.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales (medical and research equipment) complemented by technical service and support. Pricing is quote-based, multi-year, and handled through direct enterprise engagement rather than published tiers. The company operates as a privately held entity with no disclosed external funding, no public listing, and limited India-only geographic footprint. Customer concentration skews to marquee public-sector accounts (AIIMS, PGIMER, LVPEI, Sankara Nethralaya, Disha Eye Hospital, Apollo, Manipal) alongside academic and research institutions (IIT Mandi, Delhi University).
