Hi lexi2004,

look at AMBRI . Thats an australian research company.

Respiratory diagnostics program at AMBRI
Sydney-based Ambri Limited (ASX: ABI) today released additional detail about its
recently announced program to develop a rapid diagnostic test chip for human
respiratory infections including a test for avian flu infection.
AMBRI has shown in a laboratory test bed system that three different assays can be
performed simultaneously on its current biosensor chip configuration. The new chip
configuration is on an inexpensive plastic base and fits the existing laboratory test
bed reader developed by AMBRI.
The common Flu A (influenza type A) was one of the tests demonstrated in the
Company’s 16 sensor diagnostic test chip.
AMBRI is now extending the ICS™ biosensor chip development program to include
avian influenza type H5N1. The near term objective of this strategy is to develop a
prototype of a chip that would be the basis of a product to simultaneously detect in a
nasal or throat swab, the presence of any one of three influenza viral types. These
viral infections all begin with very similar symptoms and it is important to rapidly
distinguish serious infections such as Bird Flu from common influenza such as Flu A
or Flu B.
According to AMBRI CEO, Roman Zwolenski, “progressing down this development
path with multiple yes or no tests on the same chip gives AMBRI the best chance of
attracting a commercial partner to incorporate the ICS™ biosensor technology in a
marketable product”.
For the triple test respiratory diagnostic chip, AMBRI intends to use a new 16 sensor
ICS™ configuration which AMBRI expects to be able to gold imprint and fully
assemble in house.

Investors are waiting for a merger........................ ; )
