VALENCIA, SPAIN--(Marketwired - September 17, 2014) - Zenosense, Inc. (OTCQB: ZENO) (“Zenosense,” the “Company”), a healthcare technology company primarily focused on developing and marketing devices to detect the MRSA “Super-Bug” and to detect signs of lung cancer in exhaled breath, is pleased to provide an update on its device development status.
Development operations are proceeding as planned, with recent achievements summarized as:
MRSA/SA
A new sensor design has been defined for manufacturing which includes a new MRSA/SA VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) biomarker micro-separator technology and tests have been initiated to measure and contrast cultures of MRSA and SA.
Electronics design for a microbiology lab device is complete, and industrial design for the device is in process. The electronics and new sensor are expected to be integrated in the coming weeks to produce the first prototype for laboratory detection of MRSA/SA in cultures.
Lung Cancer (“LC”)
First tests using a LC VOC biomarker selected from existing hospital research data have been carried out. Good sensitivity to this VOC biomarker using the current sensor has been obtained, the VOC biomarker typically being expressed by LC patients at levels well within the capability of the sensor. Further tests will be carried out with the intention of resolving issues with cross-sensitivity with other VOC biomarkers and other ambient compounds. A review of literature and current research is in hand with alternative VOC biomarkers identified.
A device for clinical tests with lung cancer patients has been designed, including electronics and a VOC capturing system. This device is intended to meet hospital clinical procedure requirements.
About Zenosense, Inc.
Zenosense, Inc. is a detection device development company based in Valencia, Spain. Its mission is to develop effective medical devices targeting the early detection of both deadly bacteria and certain cancers in the exhaled breath of patients and market and sell these products to hospitals and primary healthcare facilities. Two devices are currently under development; a device intended to detect the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus “Super-Bug” (MRSA); and a device intended to detect Lung Cancer. Using a common Electronic Nose technology platform, the devices analyze Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which are present in the exhaled breath of patients, scanning for certain biomarkers which can indicate the presence of infection/illness.
