AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SmallCapVoice.com, Inc. today announced it conducted a new audio interview with PositiveID Corporation (“PositiveID” or the “Company”) (OTCQB:PSID), a life sciences company focused on detection and diagnostics. In the interview, which can be heard at http://smallcapvoice.com/blog/10-3-16-smallca...ation-psid , William J. Caragol, Chairman and CEO of PositiveID, discusses the Company’s highlights for the third quarter of 2016, including the Company’s follow-on contract award for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security SenseNet Program Phase II.
The goal of the SenseNet Program is to implement faster, less expensive bio-threat detection systems to increase the effectiveness of current systems and provide an added level of security. Under this Phase II award, PositiveID will provide its Firefly Dx system, designed to be a fully automated, lab quality, real-time device able to detect bio-threats at the point of need in minutes instead of hours.
In addition to the SenseNet award, Mr. Caragol also discusses the Company’s successful detection of the Zika virus on its Firefly Dx polymerase chain reaction breadboard prototype pathogen detection system, and the Company’s plans to launch a Bluetooth® version of its FDA-cleared Caregiver® infrared, non-contact thermometer by early 2017. The Bluetooth-enabled version of Caregiver will connect wirelessly to electronic health record systems and other hospital equipment such as patient monitoring stations.
