"This funding will allow us to develop, and demonstrate an instrument platform that provides sample-to-answer capabilities," stated Dr. David Danley, Director of Homeland Security and Defense Programs at CombiMatrix. "Under previous Department of Defense contracts, we have developed diverse assays for identifying a variety of chemical and biological hazards using our semiconductor microarray with a small, handheld detector. By including sample preparation, these products can provide sophisticated detection and diagnostic capabilities in simple laboratory settings and austere field conditions." Dr. Amit Kumar, President and CEO of CombiMatrix, stated, "This contract continues our multi-year collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). We have utilized DOD funding to develop dual-use technology for both military and civilian needs. Some of the products developed under such programs include our ElectraSense(R) Reader and Influenza Assay system, as well as detection systems for a number of biological threats such as anthrax and plague. We are pleased that our military feels our technology is worthy of continued support."
