About Micro Identification Technologies (MIT):

MIT is a developer of patented technologies for rapid bacterial identification (ID), a process that is significantly different from all other bacterial ID methods and is not reliant on chemical or biological processing, fluorescent tags, gas chromatography or DNA analysis. The MIT 1000 System's process is totally GREEN, requiring only water and unknown bacteria samples.

MIT, now committed to volume production, last year completed an extensive evaluation and certification by the AOAC Research Institute, which included rigorous independent testing and thorough reviews by the AOAC RI and its expert reviewers, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The AOAC RI certification is a gold standard in food safety and the Report is available from the Company.

MIT also has demonstrated the ability to detect and identify, within several minutes and at a cost of pennies-per-test, the microbes Escherichia coli, Listeria, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, and other pathogenic bacteria. The MIT 1000 System can currently ID 23 species of bacteria and is easily expandable. This ID process has been verified by North American Science Associates, Inc. (NAMSA), an independent, internationally recognized biological testing laboratory. The NAMSA Test Report, in MIT's opinion, acknowledges the accuracy, speed and cost effectiveness of the System over conventional processes and is available from the Company.
