Micro Imaging Technology -- (OTCBB: MMTC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) -- www.micro-imaging.com --
Micro Imaging Technology is a California public company that has
developed and patented a rapid microbial identification system that
can revolutionize the microbial identification (ID) industry -- by
annually saving thousands of lives and millions of dollars. The MIT
System performs bacteria IDs in minutes, not days, and at significant
cost savings when compared to other methods -- less than 10 minutes
for a cost of about $.10/test versus competitive units that take
hours and days at a cost of ~$6/test. In addition, the capital cost
versus other rapid ID devices is typically 30% less than others. The
System uses no additives, reagents or other chemicals making it a
totally GREEN system. Revenues for rapid testing methods exceed $5
billion each year in the areas of food protection and clinical
diagnostic. Market expansion has been at an average rate of 10.2
percent annually since 2003 and is expected to exceed $6.2B by 2013.
Recent increases in food contamination and human bacterial infection
events suggest that the growth projection will increase. The System
has been rigorously tested and is now certified as rapid ID test
method for food contamination. Limited production has started that
will be accelerated with additional financing.
