NNBP - Signs Agreement with American Health Associates Clinical Laboratories to Provide Calcifying Nanoparticle Tests in the United States

Business Wire "US Press Releases "

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Nanobac Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCBB:NNBP) ("Nanobac" or "the Company") and American Health Associates Clinical Laboratories (AHA) have reached an agreement for AHA to serve as the exclusive U.S. provider of Nanobac proprietary blood tests that can detect blood levels of Calcifying Nanoparticles (CNPs), which are found in coronary artery calcification, kidney stones, and other stone forming diseases. CNPs have been found in preliminary studies to be markers of arterial calcification, which in turn is a reliable marker of heart disease risk. AHA is a well-established certified laboratory headquartered in Miramar, Florida, and accepts blood samples from across the U.S.

"Nanobac has partnered with AHA for this important test so that our company can focus on its core R&D while continuing to make available and expanding the availability of these tests for research purposes," explained Nanobac Co-Chairman Dr. Benedict Maniscalco. "For the first time ever we now have a qualified laboratory in the U.S. where physicians can send blood samples for testing, along with authorized stations where patients can go to have blood drawn and know that the samples will be properly handled," Dr. Maniscalco added.

The tests can detect CNP antigens and antibodies. Analysis is done by Nanobac's own laboratories in Kuopio Finland; the only lab in the world capable of such analysis. Nanobac has performed thousands of such tests worldwide since the year 2000.

(a) (Note to editors: the term "Calcifying Nanoparticle (CNP)" has been adopted in recently published literature to help distinguish these particles from bacteria.)
