Nanomix Announces Award of $500K National Science Foundation Phase IIB Grant.EMERYVILLE, Calif. -- Nanomix Inc., a leading nanoelectronic detection company commercializing high-value diagnostic and monitoring applications, today announced that it has been awarded a follow-on $500,000 National Science Foundation (NSF NSF - National Science Foundation ) Phase IIB IIB Institute for Independent Business IIB Institute of International Business IIB Institute of International Bankers IIB International Investment Bank IIB Indian Institute of Banking & Finance IIB Included in Bankruptcy IIB Ice, Ice, Baby grant. This grant, in addition to the previous grants awarded in 2003 & 2005, brings the total NSF funding awarded to Nanomix for this project to over $1,100,000. The grant award will be used to continue the development and commercialization of Nanomix' Sensation[TM] nanoelectronic detection platform, through partnership with academia and industry. The platform is the basis for detection applications in the biomolecule biomolecule /bio·mol·e·cule/ (-mol´e-kul) a molecule produced by living cells, e.g., a protein, carbohydrate, lipid, or nucleic acid. biomolecule a molecule produced by living cells, e.g. , respiratory, and agricultural fields. NSF awards are earned through a peer-reviewed competition, with innovation, educational value and potential economic benefits as criteria. David Macdonald
