NanoLogix BNP(TM), Rapid Diagnostics, and the Marketplace: An Overview
May 13 2009 - 9:45AM
Marketwired
The BNP(TM) (BioNanoPore) test kit from NanoLogix, Inc.
(PINKSHEETS: NNLX) has broken the speed barrier for rapid detection
of virtually any microorganism currently tested with traditional
Petri technology. This marks a revolutionary step in the field of
"rapid diagnostics" of microbes, and opens a potentially vast
market to NanoLogix.
One of the foremost biomedical research centers in the U.S.
recently verified that the BNP(TM) detected anthrax cultures four
times faster, and bubonic plague two times faster than traditional
Petri plate methods. NanoLogix in-house lab tests have detected E
coli, Staph and other microbial cultures up to six times faster
than traditional Petri technology.
Worldwide, the overall use of industrial microbiology testing
grew to 1.5 billion tests in 2008. In dollar volume, the market for
rapid diagnostics tests alone is projected to reach $3.15 billion
by 2010.

at the following link: www.nanologix.com
The BNP(TM) can be used in any field or industry that requires
microbiological testing utilizing traditional Petri methods. In
addition to Homeland Security and Defense arenas, this includes
application in medical, governmental, environmental, food, water
and beverage, industrial, and pharmaceutical laboratories and
manufacturing facilities. With the ability to detect microbes in a
fraction of the standard time, the BNP(TM) can save time, money and
lives.
Uses
Homeland Security and Defense: More rapid confirmation of
biological agents can speed decontamination procedures. Public,
governmental and industrial buildings, airports, military and
civilian equipment can return to use faster and with reduced
complications.
Disease Detection and Treatment: Ultra-fast test results enable
viewing of pathogens at a much earlier stage than with conventional
Petri methods. The BNP(TM) can contribute to improved and more
targeted disease treatment and assist in the prevention of the
spread of disease. Antibiotic-resistant microorganisms are a
fast-growing medical problem. Currently it takes as long as 1-3
days to identify these bacteria from patient samples. BNP(TM) can
shorten this time significantly.
Drug Manufacturing and Testing: The BNP(TM) can be used to
reduce time needed to screen pharmaceutical products during the
production process. Monitoring of the processes for growth of
microorganisms and contamination control must be done several times
during manufacture.
Personal Care Products: The BNP(TM) can aid in the quality
control of products such as shampoo and hair conditioner,
mouthwash, cosmetics, toothpaste, shower gels containing natural or
organic ingredients.
Veterinary Medicine: Using the BNP(TM), microbiological safety
of animal foods may be confirmed at two to six times the speed of
conventional tests. This could impact all levels of animal
production, from raising animals to processing and
distribution.
Food and Beverage Industries: Contamination of dairy and
vegetable products by microbes such as botulism, salmonella, and
brucellosis can halt processing and distribution, damage a brand,
and lead to costly recalls. Many foods and beverages have a
restricted storage time, often just a few days. By reducing testing
times, the BNP(TM) can add to the market life of products.
Water Safety and Environmental Testing: The BNP(TM) can rapidly
detect giardia, legionella, and other pathogens from fecal matter.
The faster the detection, the sooner prevention or water treatment
methods can be implemented.
