Mexico FlatPack Patent Granted NanoLogix i
Post# of 9122
NanoLogix is extremely pleased to have received notification of grant from the Mexico Patent Office for their unique and exclusively licensed petri plate plate packaging system known as the FlatPack. The FlatPack, a method of vacuum-packing of petri plates in an inert gas environment, enables long term storage of many types of petri plates at room temperature for two years or more without deterioration of the nutrient agar contained in the filled plates. Standard storage times and conditions for competitors' petri plates are normally three months in a refrigerated environment. The potential economic impact of long term high quality non-refrigerated agar-filled petri plates is significant, with daily use of agar-filled petri plates worldwide numbering in the millions and access to both guaranteed-quality agar plates and dependable refrigeration for storage varying widely from area to area.
This Mexico patent grant follows FlatPack patent grants in the USA, Peoples Republic of China, South Africa, New Zealand, Chile, and the European Union, to include Hong Kong.
