NanoLogix Study Confirms Early Success Of Hydrogen Bioreactor

NanoLogix, Inc., a Nanobiotechnology company engaged in the research, development and commercialization of technologies for the production of bacteria and disease testing kits, alternative sources of fuel, cancer therapy and remediation of toxic materials, announces that preliminary data and results of a study which confirms laboratory proof-of-concept measurements have shown it possible to generate hydrogen in high yields via the use and adaptation of its intellectual property. In this study, the bioreactor produced biogas consisting of 50% hydrogen by volume, without any trace of methane.

Recently, NanoLogix, Inc. (formerly Infectech, Inc.) signed a feasibility study with the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering of Gannon University in Erie, PA to develop a bioreactor which utilizes NanoLogix's patented bacterial culturing methods in order to produce hydrogen inexpensively. Hydrogen reacts with oxygen to yield significant amounts of energy, and has the added benefit of not producing carbon dioxide as a by-product (the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen simply generates water vapor). NanoLogix believes they have discovered the most likely method for low cost production of massive quantities of hydrogen as an alternate energy source. NanoLogix has ascertained through its patent counsel that additional patents will be pending beyond those already filed.

NanoLogix, Inc., formerly known as Infectech, Inc. (http://www.infectech.com), is a technology application innovator of biogas products and services designed to assist in worldwide energy independence and reduce pollution from renewable, environmentally-friendly energy sources. NanoLogix is also engaged in the research and development of diagnostic test kits designed to be used for the rapid identification of infectious human diseases. The Company's patents span the identification and antibiotic sensitivity testing of 34 disease-producing bacteria, including M. tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI), pseudomonas, and nocardia. These bacteria are cited as prominent causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer, cystic fibrosis, and AIDS. Additionally, NanoLogix owns a patent for the nontoxic induction of apoptosis in cancer cells utilizing hydrophobic hydrocarbons. Apoptosis is a method for inducing a genetically based induction of "cell suicide" in cells. The Company's 31 patents can be viewed by visiting http://www.infectech.com/intellectual_property.php .

The convergence of science, medicine and technology is on the cusp of yielding extraordinary breakthroughs. Today, patents that were once designed to identify bacteria have widespread applications across multiple markets. At the heart of this convergence is nature. All things begin and end with the building blocks of life. NanoLogix's portfolio of 31 patents have yielded a method vital to the development of biophasic system devices intended for medical purposes to cultivate and identify certain pathogenic microorganisms. The devices contain one or more components that suppress the growth of certain microorganisms while either promoting or not affecting the growth of other microorganisms. The FDA registered devices aid in the diagnosis of disease caused by the pathogenic microorganisms. products, a method for low cost hydrogen production, a genomic cancer therapy and methods for cleaning up toxic environments using bioremediation.

NanoLogix's patents have nanotechnology applications in medical drugs/devices, bio-defense sensors, hydrogen production, cancer treatment and bioremediation. Nanotechnology applications include Biochips embedded in small transportable devices for rapid bacteria identification of disease causing pathogens, and Bio Micro Electro Mechanical Systems ("BioMEMS") for rapid environmental microbial monitoring with bio-defense implications. Its hydrogen bioreactor research is designed to assist in worldwide energy independence and reduce pollution using renewable, environmentally-friendly energy sources. NanoLogix's FDA registered diagnostic test kits are designed to be used for the rapid identification of infectious human diseases and identify 34 disease-producing bacteria, including Tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI), Pseudomonas, and Nocardia. These bacteria are cited as prominent causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer, cystic fibrosis, and AIDS, as well as in patients undergoing surgery. Additionally, NanoLogix owns a patent for the nontoxic induction of apoptosis in cancer cells utilizing hydrophobic hydrocarbons. Apoptosis is a method for inducing a genetically based induction of "cell suicide" in cells. It therefore serves as the foundation for cancer therapy. NanoLogix's other patents include technology designed for use in the bioremediation of contaminated soil and water.
