PositiveID Corporation, a developer of biological detection and diagnostics solutions, announced it has entered into an agreement to license its iglucose™ technology to Smart Glucose Meter Corp. (“SGMC”) for up to $2 million based on potential future revenues of glucose test strips sold by SGMC. These revenues will range between $0.0025 and $0.005 per strip. A person with diabetes who tests three times per day will use over 1,000 strips per year.
William J. Caragol, Chairman and CEO of PositiveID, stated, “In 2011, in conjunction with our acquisition of Microfluidic Systems, PositiveID began a corporate realignment to focus on patented molecular diagnostic technologies for bio-threat detection and rapid medical testing. This was done in order to position the Company to target the current and significant market opportunities in these sectors and take advantage of the detection and cost advantages we believe our technology provides. To date, we have achieved real results as part of this restructuring, including the sale of our implantable microchip IP and related assets, a significant reduction of our cash burn, and now the license of our iglucose wireless diabetes management technology, which we believe is another important milestone in this process.“
