[QUOTE]Originally posted by IMAKEMONEY: [QB] Avitar Aims to Increase Its Share of $1.5B Diagnostic Market CANTON, Mass., Dec 03, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Avitar Inc. ("AVTI") (OTCBB:AVTI), manufacturers of nationally branded oral fluid testing diagnostic devices and customized polyurethane applications used in wound dressings, announced today that, because of a recent GAO study of the Department of Transportation urine-based testing procedures and their high rate of failures, the patented Avitar ORALscreen(R) technology will quickly gain favor. Drug abuse remains a major problem in the transportation sector, as well as construction, manufacturing, hospitality, and retail, due to the limitations associated with urine-based drug testing. Peter Phildius, Avitar's Chairman and CEO, discussed the GAO study. "We believe that the door is now open wide for us to capture a large segment of the estimated $1.5B drug testing market. We are already selling to several cross-sector industry leaders, (Best Buy, Del Monte, Hilton, Sheraton and ADM), as well as small- to mid-sized companies that are receiving multiple benefits, such as lower employee turnover, higher quality workforce, and reductions of up to 50% in their accident rates. There is no competitive product to our ORALscreen(R) instant on-site testing device which detects prescription pain relievers such as Oxycontin(R) and Percoset(R), as well as other commonly abused substances in 15 minutes or less." Being relatively unknown for the past six years, the Company looks to 2008 as a banner year for rapid expansion into all segments of the drug testing market. The Company has hired a PR firm to begin "telling our story", elevating investor awareness and shareholder value. About Avitar, Inc.
