Corporate Snapshot
Accelr8 Technology Corporation is developing an innovative system to analyze bacteria in life-threatening infections, with the objective of providing the physician with species identity, bacterial counts, and specific antibiotic resistance by direct bacterial extraction from patient specimens and direct single-cell analysis without culturing. Culturing requires many hours or days of bacterial growth in order to isolate bacterial strains and test them. The Company's BACcel rapid diagnostic system, in development, is the first technology demonstrated able to count and identify dangerous pathogens and their drug resistance expression within 6 hours of having a patient specimen, instead of 2-3 days required for culturing. As well, the Company has licensed its proprietary OptiChem bio-coatings to microarraying product manufacturers, providing continuing revenues from royalties. OptiChem has new opportunity in potential application to invasive medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, and live-cell bioanalysis.
