Innovative Biosensors, ATCC partner to create avian flu test
Washington Business Journal - by Vandana Sinha Staff Reporter
Two local companies are working together to produce a new test to detect the avian flu within minutes.
Rockville-based Innovative Biosensors Inc. and Manassas-based ATCC have signed a research and development partnership to use the former company's detection technology and latter company's proteins to build the test.
Once it's developed, Innovative Biosensors' new Environmental Group will be responsible for selling and distributing the portable detector.
IBI, which develops such high-speed detection tests for a range of diseases, created the Environmental Business Group last month, naming Richard Thomas as the division's president.
