CARLSBAD, CA--(Marketwire - October 19, 2009) -
Applied Nanoscience Inc. (ANI) (PINKSHEETS:
APNN), a nanotechnology-based filtration company, today announced the
retention of Joe Noel and Emerging Growth Research, LLP to manage the
firm's public and investor relations programs. Emerging Growth Research
specializes in small market capitalization companies in the technology and
biotechnology sectors.
"We are very excited to be working with Joe Noel and Emerging Growth
Research, LLP. The firm's track record in assisting smaller sized emerging
companies in public and investor relations efforts is impressive,"
commented Thomas K. Allen, President and CEO of Applied Nanoscience. "The
next few months will be busy ones for this management team as our recently
announced Asia Pacific manufacturing partnership further develops and as
the execution of a product launch to non-U.S. markets for the disposable
NanoFense™ Protective Face Mask nears. We look forward to tapping the
resources of Emerging Growth Research, LLP to make these efforts a success
for the Company, our partners, and our shareholders."
The NanoFense protective face mask will incorporate ANI's proprietary
NanoFense technology which allows mask manufacturers to offer protection
well beyond ordinary N-95 specifications. When tested as a "coating" on
disposable face masks, it has been validated to be effective against a
broad spectrum of virus and bacteria by multiple independent BSL-3
laboratories in the United States. ANI will be testing the NanoFense
formation against H1NI, but with the mask already proven to eradicate three
different influenza strains, including avian influenza, the Company expects
to see similarly high efficacy.
