Arrayit
Corporation (OTC.BB: ARYC), a leading manufacturer of products and services for
disease prevention, treatment and cure, announced today that its
microarray-based diagnostic test, patented under the trade name Variation
Identification Platform (VIP), is ready for manufacture and distribution. A
breakthrough screening test using VIP will allow clinicians and researchers to
test and detect the H1N1 swine flu virus in population wide
studies.
The World
Health Organization (WHO) announced on June 11, that the threat level of the
H1N1 swine flu virus is now a global pandemic. This news is ideally timed with
Arrayit Corporation's release of its patented VIP screening test.
The
Arrayit test will allow researchers and clinicians to detect the presence of the
new H1N1 virus in mass numbers of flu patients, and to distinguish this
threatening mutated strain from less harmful variants. Arrayit's first supplies
will be sent to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta to be approved
for use in the USA. Shortly thereafter, the H1N1 test kits will be made
available for emergency use by licensed clinics, laboratories and other health
care organizations worldwide.
The VIP
screening test is the first of its kind developed for multiple numbers of test
subjects, with diagnosis available to patients within hours of testing. Up to
80,000 patients can be screened at a time, making it possible for entire
communities and entire countries to quickly identify those infected with the new
H1N1 virus. The ability to test and quickly diagnose mass numbers of subjects
allows health clinicians the opportunity to gain control of the spread of the
virus in a shorter time frame than current individual testing procedures. The
VIP test kits will be made available at an affordable cost (estimated at under
$50 per individual), making it feasible even for those without health insurance
coverage to be screened.
