a recent study conducted by DRDC Suffield, part of Defence R&D Canada, an agency of the
Canadian Department of National Defence, the RAMP(tm) Anthrax Test was demonstrated to have a reliable
detection level of less than 4,000 spores.


Orders may still be months away

Further to our mandate to test and recommend bioterrorism detection systems to first
responders, we will conduct further studies to extend and confirm preliminary findings with the RAMP technology."

and Technology Policy (OSTP), has requested that the White House re-assess its recommendation against the

under development include tests for the diagnosis and/or monitoring of prostate cancer, therapeutic drugs and
environmental agents including botulinum toxin and ricin.
