("Kontrol" or "Company") is pleased to announce that the detection mechanism of the Kontrol BioCloud® analyzer ("BioCloud"), has received initial positive lab results.
Can we measure for COVID-19 like we do for air quality?
Drawing from its extensive industry experience in air emissions and air quality monitoring, Kontrol is developing a new technology designed to detect and alert for COVID-19 in real-time, through rapid on-site air sampling and detection of aerosol and droplet encapsulated viruses in indoor and outdoor environments.
"We are pleased to announce that our detection mechanism, previously announced on August 5th, 2020, has completed its initial proof of concept test results. We have now validated that our detection mechanism can detect COVID-19 specific components in air samples under a controlled experiment," says Paul Ghezzi, Chief Executive Officer of Kontrol. "The controlled testing was conducted by independent consultants, Dr. David Heinrichs, PhD (Heinrichs Laboratory), and Dr. Jimmy Dikeakos, PhD (Dikeakos Laboratory) - experts in the study of Microbiology and Immunology."
Next Stage of Testing
The initial testing was designed to validate the function of the detection mechanism. The testing was limited to a controlled environment with the detection mechanism, and not the complete operation of the BioCloud analyzer.
The next stage of testing will be with the live COVID-19 virus in a controlled environment and the BioCloud prototype operating in real-time. This part of the ongoing testing is anticipated to be completed in the next two to three weeks. It is important to note that Kontrol is not making any representations about the operation of the BioCloud analyzer at this time. Following the testing of the BioCloud analyzer in real-time the lab results will be announced, and a final report will be prepared for the National Research Council of Canada for their review.
"As we continue testing, we have also started the process of establishing procurement and supply chain solutions for the potential production of the BioCloud and we remain in discussions with the National Research Council of Canada for their continued support," says Gary Saunders, VP of Kontrol. "Given the urgency of creating safe spaces as the economy re-opens, we are working around the clock to move our technology forward and we appreciate the efforts of our team."
