Design Review on NanoSensors' Product to Detect E-Coli 9/20/2006
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept 20, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- NanoSensors, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NNSR.OB), a nanotechnology development company that develops instruments and sensors to detect explosives, chemical and biological agents announced today that it has commenced the design review on the Company's planned product to detect e-coli. The product will be based on the Company's recently licensed nanoporous silicon-based biosensor technology to detect selected bacteria. One of the bacteria covered in the field of use by the Company's license is e-coli.
The proposed product is expected to consist of two core functional parts. First, the product design incorporates a disposable housing unit in which the actual sensor device would be mounted on a secured and sealed platform. The sensor housing unit has been designed to incorporate the necessary electrical leads to transmit the signal from the sensor to an external data acquisition unit. This data acquisition unit is the second core part of the device and has be designed to accept the output signal from the disposable housing unit, convert the signal to the appropriate format and to display the results. The preliminary designs of both parts have been completed and the design review by management and its technical consultants is being performed.
"We are very excited about the engineering and design of the Company's first biosensor product," stated Dr. Ted Wong, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "We have engaged a talented team of engineers to assist us with the design review process and to take the design to the prototype stage," continued Dr. Wong. "Although the design review process can uncover flaws which could require revisions to the proposed product design, we anticipate that the first prototypes of the e-coli product will be completed well within budget and schedule and to be ready for laboratory testing by our consultant in November."

anoSensors Initiate Testing of Carbon Nanotubes Devices Sep 18, 2006 4:05:00 PM SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NanoSensors, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NNSR.OB), a nanotechnology development company that develops instruments and sensors to detect explosives, chemical and biological agents announced today that it has initiated the laboratory testing of carbon nanotube devices for the purpose of characterization of these devices as field-effect transistors (FET) to detect specific targeted agents. The first testing will be done for targeted bacteria, salmonella and e-coli, to determine detection sensitivity and functionalization parameters.
The FETs are basically sensors on silicon chip configuration in which the carbon nanotubes are connected between two junctions on a silicon substrate. The devices are functionalized by placing a minute drop of host material close to the carbon nanotubes to attract the targeted agent. Once the targeted agent adheres to the host material, the electrical signal of the sensor is altered. The Company conducted preliminary laboratory tests on carbon nanotube platforms earlier this year to detect a selected targeted bacterium in order to determine the preliminary feasibility of devoting further resources to this technology. Based on the favorable preliminary results of such testing, the Company determined to acquire additional rights for this technology and to subject it to the additional testing described above.
Management believes that the opportunity of using carbon nanotube devices to develop and produce advanced sensor products is very promising. The Company believes that one major advantage of this technology is the expected time efficiency in the development of new sensor products since carbon nanotube-based sensors devices can be functionalized in a one-step process of simply applying the host material in the vicinity of the carbon nanotubes. This process is expected to be substantially simpler when compared to the multiple-step functionalization processes required with other sensor platforms.
