EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 24, 2005--Nanomix Incorporated, a
company commercializing nanoelectronic detection devices for industrial and
biomedical applications, announced today the issuance of a U.S. patent for its
nanostructured detection platform known as Sensation(TM).
This patent includes broad claims to arrayed nanostructured
sensing devices, in particular for detecting multiple
target species. Detection devices of this type use
nanostructured materials as extremely sensitive transducers
to permit accurate and selective measurement of chemicals
and bio molecules. The devices have extremely low
power requirements and are scalable for mass production
using conventional wafer technology.
"We are excited to see this addition to our growing
intellectual property estate related to nanoelectronic
detection technology," said David Macdonald, President
and CEO of Nanomix. "This technology will deliver
a wide range of applications and commercial opportunities
for Nanomix, both from our own products and from
product development partnerships."
This patent (U.S. Patent No. 6,905,655, issued June
14, 2005) follows a previous nanodetection patent
issued May 17, 2005. Nanomix has an extensive portfolio
of pending patent applications for detection technology
for industrial and biomedical uses. Nanomix has previously
been issued three patents for its hydrogen storage
technology.
About Nanomix
Nanomix is launching a portfolio of devices based
on Sensation(TM) detection technology. These scaleable,
nanoelectronic devices use ultra-sensitive carbon
nanotube sensing elements combined with proprietary
chemistries. These devices can be deployed across
a broad range of industrial and medical applications
where the attributes of nanodetection technology
-- low power consumption, small form factor, and
high sensitivity offer significant performance advantages
and enable unprecedented access to critical information.
Nanomix is located in Emeryville, California. For
