BioForce Nanosciences Inc. Receives Key Virus Detection Patent.AMES, Iowa Ames is a city located in the central part of the U.S. state of Iowa, about 30 miles north of Des Moines in Story County. It is the principal city of the 'Ames, Iowa Metropolitan Statistical Area' which encompasses all of Story County, Iowa and which, when combined with the -- BioForce Nanosciences announced today that a key patent has been issued by the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. Patent Office covering its breakthrough virus detection technology. U.S. Patent # 6,897,015 issued today covers the company's novel ViriChip(TM) virus capture assay system. Entitled "Device and method of use for Detection and Characterization of Pathogens and Biological Materials", claims allowed include the method of preparation of the assay system, the assay system itself and the method of detection of captured viral pathogens. "ViriChip represents a breakthrough in the rapid, sensitive and non-destructive detection of viruses," noted Dr. Saju Nettikadan, Director of Research and Applications Development at BioForce. "This technology will have applications in clinical diagnostics, through the ability to array multiple tests for viruses on an ultramicroscale chip, as well as in public health and biodefense applications, where the ability to detect new or unknown viruses is critically important," he added. Dr. Kristi Harkins, Director of Business Operations Business operations are those activities involved in the running of a business for the purpose of producing value for the stakeholders. Compare business processes. The outcome of business operations is the harvesting of value from assets , pointed out that BioForce will be discussing licensing or co-development of the technology platform with commercial partners. "With the issuance of this key patent, we've now begun discussions with potential partners in the clinical diagnostics field, and are looking to aggressively develop this technology for multiple commercial applications," she said.
