About Micro Imaging Technology:

The Company has developed and patented a laser-based technology for rapid microbe detection and identification. The system measures scattered light intensity as individual microbes pass through a laser beam. The intensity pattern of the scattered light is a direct consequence of the size, shape, and external and internal optical characteristics of the microbe. MIT has demonstrated the ability to detect and immediately identify the microbes Escherichia coli, Listeria, Salmonella Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella and other pathogenic bacteria. The Company recently had its identification process verified by an independent, internationally recognized biological testing laboratory which designed and performed a comparative test that measured the accuracy, speed and efficiency of MIT's rapid microbe identification system against conventional gas chromatographic and biological processes. The comparative tests were in a double-blind experiment, meaning that the independent laboratory technicians, using the MIT system and the well recognized alternative processes, were not aware of the various microbes' identity. The Test Report, in the Company's opinion, demonstrated the accuracy, speed and efficiency of the MIT system over conventional processes. The Report is available from the Company.
