BioMag Corp. through its wholly owned subsidiary, Biospectrum Technologies, holds revolutionary patented technologies that can potentially re-vitalize the diagnostics industry. The first product is the patented High Throughput Screening-Magnetic Testing Platform (HTS-MTP) diagnostic system. The Company believes that clinical trials will confirm that the system will offer the medical industry a unique method that provides confirmatory and viral load diagnostics at the same cost of screening assays. It is also expected that the HTS-MTP will detect any virus or bacteria and count the viral load in a matter of minutes and has the capabilities of screening several hundred percent more assays per hour at a fraction of the cost of current technologies.
The HTS-MTP patented diagnostics system uses Magnetic Resistance (MR) sensors integrated into the company's exclusive technology providing High Throughput Screening (HTS) with the company's proprietary immunoassays incorporating super paramagnetic or ferromagnetic micro-spheres in a ternary complex. The company's initial immunoassays, to be developed, will target the HIV and Hepatitis B viruses.
The company defines its markets for its first line of products as public/private laboratories and blood banks worldwide. According to S & P's Industry Surveys, Biotechnology, December 29, 2005 revenues for all publicly traded biotech companies (US and non-US biotech-related concerns trading on major US stock markets) are expected to reach $50 billion in 2005
