It seems like another company has entered the Bloodless Glucose Monitoring
field. See the post below.

biz.yahoo.com

The advantages to Elan of this is agreement is not apparant.
" this joint venture will be 80.1 percent owned
by Bioject and 19.9 percent owned by Elan"

"After the commencement of human clinical trials or April 1, 1998,
which ever comes first, responsibility for funding further
development costs will pass from Elan to the joint venture."

If Elan chooses to put it's muscle behind it, the company has financial
resources the other "bloodless glucose monitor" companies do not.

A look at the company profile showed a market value of $5 Bil, and
estimated 1998 profits of $200 million.

I have no insight onto which of the companies has the best chance of
being first to market, or being the eventual market winner.

Best of luck on your investments.
