"Bringing these technologies together will allow us to provide rapid access to accurate blood testing outside hospital which could transform the delivery of healthcare."
The funding round was led by Anglia Capital Group alongside the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership and the Low Carbon Innovation Fund.
"Anglia Capital Group is delighted to have had the opportunity to work with Health Enterprise East on the first spinout from the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. Our members led the investment round because of the exciting potential for this technology in cancer surgery and were strongly supported by matching investment from our partner, the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership."
The Greater Manchester spinout secured the capital from backers including The North West Fund for Biomedical and Central Manchester Foundation Trust to fund pre-clinical trials.
"Manchester is committed to its strategic and operational support for business growth and Co Angel Investment are just one of the services we have supported which is making a difference. We knew when we launched Co that Manchester held huge potential for a better, lower risk investment platform: the growing businesses like Gelexir are here, the Angels are here and now we have the infrastructure to bring them together to release further potential in the region."
The funding follows a previous £1.5m round in late 2014 and will support upcoming product launches.
