Biomagnetics Unveils World’s First Urine-Based Tuberculosis Diagnostics Tool in New Video

Business Wire
Biomagnetics Diagnostics Corp., (PINK SHEETS:BMGP - News) a
developer of revolutionary diagnostics systems and technology for
HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis, cholera and malaria detection, and
other innovative technologies, in a new video today unveiled the
world’s first urine-based tuberculosis diagnostics tool. This
revolutionary optical biosensor diagnostics device was developed by
top scientists, chemists and engineers at Los Alamos National
Laboratory via a cooperative research and development agreement
between the two organizations.
The waveguide-based system is capable of providing a qualitative
tuberculosis diagnosis using only a few drops of human urine in a
timeframe of only 15 to 20 minutes. This is a significant
breakthrough compared to sputum, blood and skin tests that often
take several days or weeks for results. Recently developed
PCR-based diagnostics which take approximately two hours to produce
results are significantly more expensive.
“Not only will the device provide a qualitative tuberculosis
diagnosis in a fraction of the time of other testing protocols it
will also provide these results at only a fraction of the cost,
commented Clayton Hardman, CEO of Biomagnetics Diagnostics.” “While
the current cost profile is already significantly lower than other
tests, we are already working on a new waveguide design that will
likely allow us to reduce the cost per test even further.” “The
unit shown in this video is a desktop unit; however, the products
for ultimate delivery to the market will also include a handheld
device that can be operated by relatively untrained medical
personnel at the point of patient care. We see nothing on the
market today, or on the immediate horizon, that can compare to the
capabilities of this technology. We congratulate the scientific
staff at Los Alamos National Laboratory on the outstanding
developmental effort they have put forth.”
