VALENCIA, SPAIN, May 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zenosense, Inc. (OTC PINK: ZENO) ("Zenosense", the "Company"), a healthcare technology company primarily focused on the development and commercialization of MIDS Cardiac™, a Point of Care handheld device for the early detection of certain cardiac event biomarkers. We believe that MIDS Cardiac will significantly accelerate the triage, diagnosis, treatment and disposition of patients reporting chest pain symptomatic of acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). The MIDS Cardiac development is being carried out by our MIDS Medical Limited joint venture ("MML") based at Sci-Tech, Daresbury (UK).
The Company notes the recent decline in its share price and knows of no operational reason for this. The development by MML of the MIDS technology platform is progressing as planned. Within the next few weeks the Company expects to receive the following development information from MML:
- A summary of revisions and enhancements to the core MIDS electronics as a result of research and development work carried out by MML during the latter part of 2017 and to date in 2018. These enhancements are expected to deliver a material improvement in the MIDS platform capability in respect of the sensitivity and reproducibility of assay bead detection.
- Results from tests using the revised electronics to be carried out on two brands of commercially available composite assay beads of a type believed to be suitable for a high sensitivity troponin assay.
- These quantitative results will include definitive numerical estimates of the numbers of assay beads that have been detected, verified by a qualified and independent third party, so that the diagnostic industry can be better informed of the MIDS capability.
A further update will be issued in due course on receipt of the above information.
