BioCube, Inc. (OTCQB: BICB) (PINKSHEETS: BICB), a "Life Sciences"
company that specializes in advancing the use of electro-chemical
activation (ECA) technology in today's commercial markets,
announced today that it has extended its agreement with Battelle
Memorial Institute (Battelle), the operator of U.S. Department of
Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).
The initial agreement signed on January 20, 2010 provided
BioCube with nonexclusive domestic rights and exclusive rights in
Canada, China, Mexico and Europe to develop and market the
microaerosol-based technology developed by Battelle at PNNL and
products that result therefrom as well as access to Battelle's test
data compiled over the last 4 years that demonstrates the efficacy
of licensed technology. The executed Amendment #1 summarizes
specific patent filings in regions of interest to BioCube, as well
as incorporates intellectual property rights to the "Vortex Aerosol
Generator" (VAG) developed by the project research partner,
Institute of Highly Pure Elements in St. Petersburg, Russia.
As previously announced by BioCube, Inc., it intends to further
collaborate with PNNL and its Russian research partners to complete
the development of VAG that will be used in an environmentally safe
decontamination system modeled after research conducted at PNNL.
The system developed at PNNL has demonstrated effective handling of
microbial and fungal cells, spores, and viruses that are the core
of such infections as MRSA infection, Avian Flu, Swine Flu and
common molds.
There are a variety of methods allowing for decontamination of
pathogens. However, the majority of these methods have serious
limitations because they are either toxic, or have significant
negative effects on sensitive equipment and interior materials.
BioCube's system will be environmentally safe, with a minimal
effect on humans and animals, using solutions that are
biodegradable, non-toxic and economically efficient.
BioCube believes that this decontamination technology holds
significant promise as a long-term solution to a growing problem of
dealing with pathogen compromised facilities and will initially
focus on applications in the healthcare and transportation
markets.
In addition to microaerosol applications, BioCube is exploring
other numerous uses for its aqueous solutions, which has
conclusively demonstrated its superior properties in wound care and
sterilization applications.
