PositiveID Corporation PSID
We are really excited about the upside potential of this morning’s featured company, PositiveID Corporation™ (OTCBB: PSID). The near-term on a ripening chart, as well as the long-term with an intriguing line of advanced technologies and high-level partnerships, are both looking decidedly bright for PSID.
As usual, we want to dive into the nuts and bolts of the company’s products before we take a look at the technicals of the chart. PositiveID’s futuristic line includes a number of different offerings, both existing and under development, that can really push the boundaries of point-of-care medical diagnostics, as well as real-time airborne pathogen and environmental contaminant detection.
PositiveID Molecular Diagnostic Technologies:
The Microfluidics-based Bioagent Networked Detector (M-BAND), is a sample collection, processing and detection system that analyzes air samples for the purpose of rapid bacterial, viral and toxic detection. It then delivers the data in real-time via a connected network. The system was developed by the company’s MicroFluidic Systems subsidiary under contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from ’04 to ’09, during which time it received governent funding on the order of $30M.
The DragonFly cartridge system provides cell lysis, nucleic acid purification, PCR amplification and fluorescent detection on biological samples for the purposes of identifying environmental bacteria, human papilloma virus (HPV), and antibiotic resistant bacteria such as MRSA.
FireFly, which is one of the technologies currently under development, will allow first-response teams to perform many of the same diagnostic tasks as its predecessors, using a handheld display device which communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth with a smartphone or computer.
There is rising demand for the kind of technologies PSID develops, as well as increased government spending. Anthrax and Ricin scares, SARS & H1N1 crises, and the looming threat of bio-terrorism and chemical warfare have all been contributing factors to increased funding.
Both M-BAND and FireFly will also be topics of discussion when Chief Technology Advisor Dr. Kimothy Smith presents for PSID at the 21st International Conference for Biodetection Technologies, as outlined in the PR you’ll find below.
Also worthy of mention, is PSID’s partnership with aerospace and defense behemoth, The Boeing Company. It is Boeing that has become PositiveID’s exclusive distributor of the M-BAND for the DHS $3.1 billion BioWatch Gen-3 program. With bedfellows like Boeing and Homeland Security, we are really hyped up about the possibilities that the future holds for PositiveID Corp.
