We are Moichor
(Pronounced “moy-core”)
Moichor is an animal diagnostics laboratory committed to empowering veterinarians with cutting-edge, highly accurate diagnostic tools. Our team of pathologists, engineers, and in-house veterinarians push the boundaries of innovation through the integration of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and the expertise of a dedicated group of medical professionals.
In 2020, we pioneered the first fully automated Complete Blood Count (CBC) for exotic animals. Since then, we've expanded our services to include diagnostics for small animals, cytology, and more. We proudly serve veterinarians across all regions of the United States and accept samples from every type of animal.
Our mission goes beyond offering a comprehensive suite of veterinary diagnostics — we are building the world’s largest species-specific reference interval library to ensure each patient receives the most tailored and accurate pathology results possible. With our Pathview device, an in-clinic hematology and cytology solution, veterinarians gain real-time access to pathology-level test results and diagnostic insights, streamlining patient care and improving outcomes.
With Moichor, there are no contracts or commitments required. Join us in revolutionizing veterinary diagnostics and advancing the understanding of animal pathology.

From vision to reality
The origins of Moichor do not begin with animals but rather humans. Co-founders Shevy Karbasi, Matt Chen, and Thanh Le met at Penn State University and were initially driven by the idea of making CBCs more accessible for people like Shevy's grandfather who couldn't easily travel to an outpatient center.
As they explored automating CBCs, they learned about the many diagnostic challenges avian and reptile clinicians faced as a result of outdated methods for processing bloodwork.
Seeing a clear opportunity to create a meaningful impact by addressing the issues of subjectivity and high-costs associated with manual methods, they pivoted their efforts to focus on veterinary diagnostics.
The team successfully innovated the first automated CBC for exotics, and since then the co-founders have continued to grow Moichor based on a shared belief that every veterinarian deserves easy access to the best diagnostic tools science can provide.
The name Moichor
Moichor (“moy-core”) is a combination of two Greek mythological names.
.
Moirai: A group of goddesses in Greek mythology called the Moirai or the Fates are noted as being in charge of every life’s thread while making sure each being follows its destined trajectory. Moichor wouldn’t go so far as to say we’re the keepers of every animal’s life, but we do follow the thread of health through animal diagnostics and help veterinarians make sure their patients’ well-being are accounted for.
.
Ichor: Ichor is the name of the blood Greek gods possess in mythology. Although pets and animals may not be as omnipotent in our lives as the Greek gods of old were, our patient’s health is of omnipresent importance, and we honor them along with our roots of innovating automated CBCs.

Moirai + Ichor = Moichor
