DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - March 28, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB:PSID), an emerging growth company and developer of advanced technologies for diabetes management as well as sophisticated airborne bio-threat detection systems for America's homeland defense industry, announced today that it has received material from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Influenza Division-National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases to develop a diagnostic assay to detect Influenza A H5N1, also known as avian flu. This assay will provide a test result in less than 30 minutes at the point of care, and is expected to be available for the upcoming flu season for diagnostic and surveillance applications.
The United Nations has urged people to be ready against a possible but major resurgence of the avian flu. According to the CDC, of the few avian influenza viruses that have crossed the species barrier to infect humans, the mutant strain of bird flu has caused the largest number of detected cases of severe disease and death in humans. Human cases of avian influenza A (H5N1) have been reported in Asia, Africa, Europe, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Pacific, and the near East. Slightly more than 60 percent of those who became ill have died.
PositiveID's assay for avian flu, as well as its other currently available assays, will run on the Company's patented Dragonfly Rapid MDx platform. Dragonfly was created out of the Company's M-BAND system, which was developed under contract from the Department of Homeland Security. The H5N1 assay will also be compatible with other commercial platforms.
The Company currently has proven assays for E.coli O157:H7; human papilloma virus (HPV); methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); and a multiplex bio-threat assay that simultaneously tests for six bio-threat organisms on the CDC Category A and B list.
The development of an H5N1 assay is the Company's most recent push into the clinical diagnostics market, where it will offer faster, less expensive testing methods than those that are commonly used.
William J. Caragol, Chairman and CEO of PositiveID, stated, "Our assay for H5N1, as well as our other clinical diagnostic assays, will be faster and less expensive than the industry standard testing protocol. Furthermore, our microfluidic technology is highly adaptable, which enables us to develop new assays for emerging bio-threats and viruses relatively quickly, which we believe will help us as we enter the clinical diagnostic market."

Medical Technology Stock Alert; PositiveID Corporation's (OTCBB:PSID) M-BAND Well Positioned for $3 Billion BioWatch Contract
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - March 13, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB:PSID), a developer of molecular diagnostic systems for bio-threat detection, announced today that its M-BAND (Microfluidic-Bioagent Autonomous Networked Detector) system is well positioned to take part in the Department of Homeland Security's ("DHS") $3.1 billion BioWatch Gen-3 opportunity, expected to be released in the first half of 2012, and is the only system of its kind that was demonstrated in the field under the DHS Science and Technology ("S&T") BAND Program. PositiveID's patented M-BAND biodetector was developed under a competitive award from DHS S&T, and M-BAND was the only successful system to emerge from the BAND program.
M-BAND, protected by United States Patent No. 7,705,739 B2 for an Integrated Airborne Substance Collection and Detection System, was developed by PositiveID's Microfluidic Systems ("MFS") subsidiary under six years of funding from the federal government.
M-BAND is a bioaerosol monitor with fully integrated modular systems including sample collection, purification and detection modules. Each module is independently functional and adaptable. M-BAND runs autonomously for up to 30 days, continuously analyzing air samples for the detection of bacteria, viruses, and toxins with results in as little as three hours. Results from individual instruments are reported via a secure wireless network in real time to give an accurate and up to date status for fielded instruments in aggregate. Also as part of the BAND Program, PositiveID developed, validated and implemented its own biological assays for use on the M-BAND system and research laboratories. (www.PSIDMBA.com).
The M-BAND instrument offers a number of advantages including decreased consumable and operating costs, a small footprint, a closed operating environment and significant flexibility of operation. M-BAND has been designed and field tested to operate continuously for 30 days unattended between scheduled services. It also operates using industry gold-standard TaqMan(R) PCR (polymerase chain reaction) chemistry.
William J. Caragol, Chairman and CEO of PositiveID, stated, "We believe M-BAND is the only system of its kind that has been successfully field tested indoors and outdoors, both domestically and internationally. We further believe that M-BAND has significant benefits that set this technology apart and put us in a strong position to participate with large partners in the $3.1 billion BioWatch opportunity."

Medical Technology Stock Alert; PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB:PSID) Finalizes First-in-Class Development of a Fully Synthetic Glucose Sensing System, a Critical Component of an Artificial Pancreas
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - March 5, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB:PSID), a developer of medical technologies for diabetes management, announced today that it has finalized its first-in-class development of a fully synthetic glucose sensing system to measure glucose levels within the body for people with diabetes. PositiveID and its partner RECEPTORS LLC believe they are the first to develop a fully synthetic, stable, sensitive, selective sensing system that is responsive to glucose in human plasma, which is considered to be a critical step in the development of an artificial pancreas.
PositiveID's glucose sensing system is the mission-critical component of its GlucoChip(TM), glucose-sensing microchip for people with diabetes, and is based on PositiveID's Patent No. 7,125,382 for an "Embedded Bio-Sensor System." The Embedded Bio-Sensor System patent covers any bio-sensor system that utilizes radio frequency identification technology and includes a remote transponder in wireless communication with an implantable, passively-powered, on-chip transponder.
PositiveID previously announced it created and demonstrated a continuous glucose sensing system in a model blood plasma matrix, and has now advanced development of the sensing system to respond to glucose levels in human plasma. PositiveID also has a patent pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office covering its invention of the stable and reproducible, closed-cycle continuous glucose-sensing system. PositiveID now has five patents and patents pending surrounding the development of GlucoChip.
William J. Caragol, Chairman and CEO of PositiveID, stated, "The development of a fully implantable glucose sensor is one of the essential requirements for the successful development of an artificial pancreas. We believe that with the combined expertise of Receptors and our strong intellectual property portfolio that surrounds the development of our GlucoChip project, we are well positioned to play a potentially significant role in making an artificial pancreas a reality for people with type 1 diabetes."
More than 25 million children and adults in the U.S. have diabetes, or over 8 percent of the population, according to the 2011 National Diabetes Fact Sheet. The CDC predicts that nearly 30 percent of children born after the year 2000 will develop diabetes. The lifetime risk of developing diabetes for those born in the year 2000 is 35 percent. The total cost of diagnosed diabetes in the U.S. is estimated at $200 billion.
PositiveID also recently announced positive preliminary results from its biotransport research study relating to its GlucoChip. Preliminary results demonstrate that the membrane materials to be used with GlucoChip allow for successful movement of glucose from body fluids. PositiveID's first animal studies were designed to test the membrane materials that will be the interface between the glucose sensing device and the in vivo environment by evaluating the ability of glucose to pass through the membrane to the sensing device (glucose transport).
