Hello Rob, You are correct in your observations that our products diagnosis is qualitative. The test kits are best suited for initial diagnosis. After the detection of a virus or disease depending on the test done, further medical treatment can be sought out. We are currently focusing our efforts on 4 of our test kits. Being our HIV 1 & 2, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, and H.Pylori test kits. The advantage is that the kits provide a rapid, accurate, low cost solution for detection of these viruses and diseases. I would agree with you that our companies are not in direct competition with each other. No the science has not been patented nor will it be able to be. The method for attaching antibodies to antigens has been used by Chemists world wide. We are applying this theory through a process that we formulated to a specific approach proprietary to us. We are not actively seeking FDA approval right now. It is uncertain whether the FDA would ever approve an anonymous self-test kit for HIV when the US government is trying to create a database of know infected individuals. We are concentrating our efforts in 3rd world markets right where our low cost accurate diagnosis solution can be most effective. Royces test kits have been independently validated by a couple of labs. Immuno Science Inc. and The Department of Microbiology at Mount Sinai Hospital. Let me know your address and I can make a copy available to you if you have further interest.
