Company Overview
PositiveID Corporation™ develops unique medical devices and biological detection systems focused primarily on diabetes management, rapid medical testing and airborne bio-threat detection. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, MicroFluidic Systems or MFS, is focused on the development of microfluidic systems for the automated preparation of and performance of biological assays. PositiveID Corporation was formed on November 10, 2009 through the merger of VeriChip Corporation and Steel Vault Corporation.
In May 2011, PositiveID acquired California-based MicroFluidic Systems, founded in 2001, which specializes in the development and production of automated instruments for detecting and processing biological samples. MFS' core technology is used for airborne pathogen detection, rapid clinical diagnostics and sample preparation applications.
MFS' microfluidic technology alleviates all existing problems by replacing robotics with integrated microfluidics, reducing cost and increasing reliability. Its microfluidic technology also automates and increases the effectiveness of key sample processing steps used today on the laboratory bench-top, into a closed, automated system. The embedded devices perform cell lysis (including difficult spores) in less than one minute at low power, nucleic acid purification along with inhibitor removal and pre-concentration of the nucleic acids up to factors of 1000X within minutes. These processes all occur autonomously within a fully contained disposable microfluidic cartridge.
PositiveID operates in two main divisions: HealthID and MicroFluidic Systems. The HealthID division develops unique medical devices, focused primarily on diabetes management. Its MicroFluidic Systems subsidiary develops airborne bio-threat detection systems and rapid clinical diagnostic systems.
PositiveID's Main Divisions
HealthID
PositiveID's HealthID division develops innovative health solutions for consumers, businesses and animals. From blood glucose monitoring and other diabetes management products to rapid virus detection, PositiveID is charting new ground with its exciting array of new medical technologies.
 Diabetes Management
In February 2010, PositiveID acquired the intellectual property rights and assets of Easy Check Medical Diagnostics, LLC, to expand its portfolio of non-invasive glucose-level testing products and diabetes management tools under development. With the Easy Check acquisition came two development products: the Easy Check breath glucose test , a non-invasive glucose detection system that measures acetone levels in a patient’s exhaled breath; and the iGlucose system, which uses wireless SMS messaging to automatically communicate a diabetic’s glucose readings to the iGlucose online database.
Bio-sensors
In addition to our intellectual property surrounding the implantable RFID microchip for patient identification, we own patents related to an embedded bio-sensor system. One potential application of this bio-sensor system is an implantable, bio-sensing RFID microchip to measure glucose levels in the body in real time.
 MicroFluidic Systems
PositiveID's MicroFluidic Systems division, which operates as its MicroFluidic Systems ("MFS") subsidiary, develops sample preparation and biological detection systems. MFS began developing complex microfluidic systems to perform sample processing and purification for the Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA). It then developed a similar system, including a thermal cycler for PCR analysis for the US Army's Edgewood Chemical and Biological Command (ECBC).
