Verisante Technology, Inc. Launches New Product at SPIE Photonics
West 2014 in San Francisco, CA
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb 4, 2014) -
Verisante Technology, Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:VRS)(OTCQX:VRSEF) (the
"Company" or "Verisante"), a leader in cancer detection technology,
announced today that the Company is launching a new product at the
SPIE Photonics West 2014 industry exhibit in San Francisco,
California from February 4-6, 2014. Photonics West is the annual
flagship event for the optics and photonics industry, with 20,000
attendees expected to attend.
The Company will be introducing and demonstrating the VRS™
Verisante Research System, a revolutionary rapid Raman spectroscopy
system designed for the scientific research community. The Aura™
for skin care which uses the same platform technology used in VRS™
was the winner of the 2013 Prism Award in the Life Sciences and
Biophotonics category at last year's Photonics West conference.
VRS™ is the world's fastest Raman spectrometer, able to acquire
Raman spectra in under one second. According to Transparency Market
Research, the "global spectrometry market was worth USD 10.2
billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 15.2 billion in 2017".
Interested parties are invited to view VRS™ at exhibit booth #5134
in the North Hall of the Moscone Center.
"Our technology platform allows us to sell very similar products
into different sales channels. In addition to skin cancer, lung
cancer, etc., we can sell into the global research and industrial
markets without requiring the stringent regulatory approvals
required for medical devices. Our probes and ultra fast integration
time make our spectrometer a unique and valuable tool not just for
cancer research, but for many other applications in research and
industry," said Thomas Braun, CEO of Verisante.
