The device needed a higher degree of sensitivity than existing equipment and would provide instant results, while being durable and functional in field testing to withstand wartime conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Micronics proposed its PanNAT system to meet this need. The company says PanNAT is a lightweight, portable sample-to-answer device. It contains an instrument that processes a cartridge incorporating all reagents for detection of multiple bloodborne pathogens in fresh blood samples.<\/p>\n<p>The specific pathogens to be detected are those for hepatitis B and C (HBV, HCV), as well as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The assay is intended for use in the battlefield to screen out any infectious blood donated for transfusion.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"http:\/\/sciencebusiness.technewslit.com\/?p=1408\">Virginia Medical Device Company Wins Small Business Grants<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Defense Medical Research and Development Program (DMRDP) awarded one of its Applied Research and Technology Development grants to Micronics Inc., a medical diagnostics device company in Redmond, Washington.
