Daxor Corporation (Nasdaq: DXR), the global leader in blood volume
measurement technology, today announces it has been awarded a $1.9M
two-year contract from the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to support the
continued development of a novel fluorescent tracer and optical
sensing technology into a next-generation point-of-care blood
volume analyzer for military and civilian applications.
Michael Feldschuh, Daxor’s President and CEO,
highlighted the significance of this latest agreement: “We're proud
to continue our collaboration with the USAF, marking our third
consecutive contract. Our ongoing alliance accelerates the
development of our innovative technology, making precise blood
