Biomagnetics Diagnostics Corp, a developer of revolutionary diagnostic systems and technology for HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis and malaria detection, today announced the company has finalized a "Patent License Agreement with Los Alamos National Security." Under the agreement, Biomagnetics will have access to the Triggered Optical Biosensor and Integrated Optical Biosensor System (IBOS) technology, developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
IOBS are a relatively new classification of pathogen detection equipment that use advanced fiber optic-based technology to detect a wide variety of human and animal pathogens. These devices are specifically designed to be field deployable and ultra-portable, allowing for the rapid detection of various viral and bacterial pathogens by relatively untrained personnel outside of the laboratory setting.
“We are very excited to have completed this agreement with Los Alamos National Security, which gives us access to some of the most technologically advanced and exciting biosensor technology in existence. The Integrated Optical Biosensor (IBOS) we plan to introduce into the marketplace, the technology developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, is truly revolutionary.
"Additionally, the platform was specifically designed to be operated by personnel with only minimal training. These features make IBOS the perfect platform for field and point of care testing for the diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, malaria, cholera and potentially dozens of other diseases that kill millions of people each year. We look forward to working with the lab personnel on this and other endeavors.”
