Hubbard's NanoLogix Lands a Contract with the EPA

Local company NanoLogix has enjoyed success recently with its new Petri dish capable of detecting micro-organisms such as bacteria and viruses in half the time standard dishes show their presence.  Yesterday the company received more good news.  From Marketwire:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it has entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with NanoLogix. The Agency and NanoLogix will work to design a rapid diagnostic method to detect bacterial threats, including E.coli and Cryptosporidium in drinking and source water. Scientists from the EPA and NanoLogix will use the company's rapid detection technology as a foundation for the new process, with the goal of significantly reduced test times from those achievable with current tests.
