NetImpact: Scientists Investigate Using MDS200 to Detect Mad Cow
Disease; Unit Tests With Blood Samples, Avoiding Slaughter Of Herds
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NetImpact Holdings,
Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: NTHD) today announced that scientists,
including biochemists and bioengineers, are investigating the
possibility of using NetImpact's MDS200 to detect Mad Cow disease.
Scientists will place samples of the cow's blood or neural tissue
into the MDS200 to further develop and test the system to identify
the disease. Using cow's blood avoids slaughtering the animal to
access brain stem tissue or slaughtering herds of cows to stop the
spread of the disease. The brain stem tissue test produces accurate
results in about one week. NetImpact expects the MDS200 test to
produce accurate results in a matter of hours. NetImpact
anticipates positive reports from the scientific team. The Company
plans to move their lab in a box to market without delay and is
pursuing partnerships with otherfirms and investment capital groups
in the U.S., Canada, England, Japan and Australia. The MDS200 lab
in a box is a breakthrough technology for disease detection.
Currently used on solids, gases and fluids, it is capable of
automatic preparation and testing of difficult and dirty samples
containing cell, protein, nucleic acid and chemical analytes. About
the size of a small suitcase, the MDS200 is a rugged portable
laboratory designed for use in remote areas with non-existent or
scarce laboratory facilities and readily carried from location to
location. Test results are displayed on the unit's LED and can be
sent via satellite or dial up connections. Once a sample has been
placed in the lab in a box the processing is spontaneous. Operating
an MDS200 does not require a trained lab technician. About
