Nanologix Inc. Sets New Standard for Extended Shelf Life of Petri-Plates

Shatters Existing Standards
NanoLogix Inc. (OTCBB: NNLX), an innovator in the rapid
detection, identification of live bacteria, and determination of
their antibiotic resistance and sensitivity, announces that a New
World Standard for Petri plate shelf life and storage conditions
has been established by NanoLogix. The Company has been informed
that ongoing tests by the world’s largest private Research and
Development corporation have shown NanoLogix Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA)
plates packed in exclusive, patented FlatPack® packaging for 19
months performing as well as one-week old competitor’s plates. With
this milestone, NanoLogix petri plate shelf life has reached nearly
10 times the competition’s room temperature shelf life of slightly
over 2 months and 5 times the competition’s normal cold-storage
shelf life. Prior to this study, the standard for shelf life of TSA
petri plates was for cold storage only, for a period of 3-1/2
months. In an additional milestone reached in internal Company cold
storage tests, NanoLogix TSA petri plates are approaching three
years on the shelf with no loss of viability from when first
manufactured.

The importance of these results cannot be overstated --- due to
their traditional short shelf lives, agar-filled petri plates have
historically been prepared in locations in the states, regions, or
countries in which the users are located. The long shelf life of
NanoLogix products and the FlatPack’s virtual elimination of
breakage in transit, regardless of distance shipped, are producing
a paradigm shift on the part of those who are the product end
users. Customers can now take delivery of NanoLogix products many
thousands of miles distant from the production location and be
assured that they have a product that significantly outlasts others
made onsite, locally, or regionally. A number of our FlatPack
protected petri-based products can be stored at room
temperature for months or more, a feature that is unique to
NanoLogix products and one that reduces energy requirements
significantly on projects both large and small, with no need for
cold storage equipment for our TSA: 19+ months (competition: 3-1/2
months), Nematode Growth Media (10+ months), and Chocolate Agar:
10+ months (competition 5 months). Our Middlebrook Agar petri
plates for TB detection: 10+ months in cold storage, (competition:
3 months). We expect these times to be extended during the ongoing
testing and hope that shelf life may be indefinite for some
agars.
Results of the ongoing study should be submitted for publication
sometime in 2014.
NanoLogix will be exhibiting at Booth 625 at the annual Food
Safety Summit in Baltimore, Maryland April 8-10, 2014. Further
