Well, there is an opportunity that the masses haven’t cottoned onto yet.
Microsaic has some very interesting technology as it specialises in mass spectrometry. Confused? I can sympathise: ‘What the hell is that?’ was my reaction when I first came across the term ‘mass spectrometry’. That may be part of the reason many private investors have ignored it.
Allow me to explain… Mass spectrometers are designed to improve the efficiency of chemical and biological workflows. Specific applications of mass spectrometry include drug testing and discovery, food contamination detection, pesticide residue analysis, isotope ratio determination, protein identification, and carbon dating.
A recent agreement with DeepVerge enables Microsaic’s contamination detection equipment and services to be sold by DeepVerge’s sales network, as well as its marketing and distribution channels in the laboratory, chemical, biochemical, biofuel and biodegradable plastic and waste-water treatment industries.
Still, the development that really has me excited is the collaboration with DeepVerge to accelerate the development of the MicrotoxBT breathalyser. This ground-breaking device combines miniaturised mass spectrometry with DeepVerge’s AI data analytics to detect spike proteins of the COVID-19 virus, SARS-CoV-2, on a person’s breath. Resulting in fast, reliable, and efficient test results of the population at the point-of-need.
According to Microsaic, this platform has the potential to quickly enable GP clinics to refer serious conditions, by using biomarker binding agents capable of detecting up to 40 diseases on the human breath, including:
Cancer
Neurodegenerative conditions
Respiratory illnesses
Metabolic conditions
