TRIXELL

Their core work

TRIXELL is a French private company specializing in digital X-ray detector technology for medical and industrial imaging applications. Based in Moirans, they develop flat-panel X-ray detectors and imaging systems, working on advanced detector materials and architectures. Their H2020 participation shows a consistent focus on pushing X-ray sensing technology forward — from organic large-area imagers to next-generation systems and, most recently, perovskite-based detector materials for medical diagnostics. They bring industrial-scale detector manufacturing expertise to European research consortia.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

TRIXELL's trajectory shows a clear progression in X-ray detector technology. Their early work (2015-2018, LORIX) focused on organic semiconductor materials for large-area X-ray sensing — an exploratory direction. By 2018-2023, they shifted toward next-generation complete imaging systems (NEXIS) and then to perovskite-based detector materials with explicit medical imaging applications (PEROXIS). The evolution reveals a move from fundamental detector research toward application-specific medical imaging systems using the most promising new materials.

TRIXELL is moving toward perovskite-based X-ray detectors purpose-built for medical diagnostics, suggesting future collaborations will center on clinical imaging applications with advanced materials.

How they like to work

TRIXELL participates exclusively as a consortium partner, never leading projects — consistent with their role as an industrial technology provider contributing detector expertise to research-driven consortia. With 23 unique partners across 9 countries in just 3 projects, they work in medium-to-large European consortia and show breadth rather than repeat partnerships. This pattern suggests they are accessible as a partner and valued for their specialized industrial capability in detector manufacturing.

TRIXELL has built a broad European network of 23 unique partners across 9 countries through 3 projects, indicating they are well-connected in the X-ray imaging and advanced materials research community. Their collaborations span multiple countries, reflecting the pan-European nature of medical imaging R&D.

What sets them apart

TRIXELL occupies a rare niche as a dedicated X-ray detector manufacturer participating in EU research — they bridge the gap between academic materials science and industrial-scale detector production. Their consistent three-project track in X-ray imaging means they bring accumulated know-how that few other industrial partners can match. For consortium builders, TRIXELL offers a credible pathway from laboratory detector prototypes to manufactured products.

Highlights from their portfolio

• PEROXIS
  Combines perovskite materials research with concrete medical imaging applications (cardiovascular, pulmonary), representing TRIXELL's most application-driven project.
• NEXIS
  Largest EC contribution to TRIXELL (EUR 1.5M), focused on building a complete next-generation X-ray imaging system.
• LORIX
  Earliest project exploring organic semiconductors for large-area X-ray sensors — the foundation for TRIXELL's subsequent detector material research.
