ASX Announcement - 15.4.04 - 2.42pm
Panbio Recognized for Excellence in Breakthrough
Technology
April 15, 2004, Brisbane, Qld, Australia -
Breakthrough technology developed by Panbio Ltd has been recognized with a
prestigious award from the Federal Govt's Industry Research and Development
Board.
Panbio received the award for commitment to
excellence in developing its innovative Oligo Rapid technology which delivers
medical diagnostic tests in a highly flexible, easy to use format, suitable for
use by physicians and health care practitioners in the field.
Panbio has been granted a US patent for the new
technology and is in the process of developing Oligo-based tests for specific
diseases. The company estimates the first products utilising the new technology
will be on the world market in about 12 months.

to use diagnostic solutions to reach the millions of people who go untreated or
are diagnosed with fevers of uknown origin."

reduced, making the test affordable to people around the world. The new platform
will also allow multiple tests to be performed on a single patient sample
resulting in rapid identification of the cause of some of the world's most
serious infectious diseases."

reach substantial world markets that currently lack access to accurate and
affordable diagnostics."

Hi Cristine (& Ruth)
Yes the topic has been done to death but the
debate will rage on while there are still those that consider themselves
either pure TA or pure FA. That is all a part of what makes life
interesting.
I am an avid follower of the sharechat
postings and often take considerable notice (ie put money up) based on
what I read. To those that have helped me to a win - THANKYOU - the
information you have posted has been great. To those that have had
losses (as I have as well), keep learning from the previous decisions you
have made - knowledge may act to some extent as a future "stop
loss".
Keep up the good work (and don't stop
posting)
Regards

Snoopy did a great fisking of the original posting. His
questions were
polite and very reasonable. If one is going to post
about "controversial"
topics one cannot complain when much of it is
dissected. Implying the topic
at hand is too esoteric is often the
last resort when one cannot logically
or factually rebut
something.
People are very attached to their beliefs, much more
attached than they
usually let on. When they are called on them
they often depart, usually with
a few ad-hominems thrown in for
good measure ;-)
IMO the lack of replies is nothing to do with
not wanting to expand
horizons, but is because by and large the
topic has been done to death and
no one cares
anymore.
Regards,
Ruth
>>Hi Woody,
I
have always held your posts in very high regard and your last post was
no
exception.
It was excellent - pioneering - and very brave
- proposing the exploration
of uncharted territory and encouraging
everyone to broaden their horizons
(think outside the
box).
In a brain-storming session, participants are encouraged
to 'think outside
the box', take a non-judgemental perspective, and
contribute both pros and
cons in a positive manner.
In this
way, new ideas that may have great merit are not squashed
before
they are considered in their entirety.
Your post
reminded me of this, and as a life-long learner, I can say I
was
truly excited by your post, your pioneering spirit, and the
prospect of
exploring these possibilities through the ensuing
exchanges.
Of course, to be effective - it helps to have more
than one contribution so
I can totally understand your recent
response.
Also, there is some risk associated with proposing
anything new and there is
always some resistance (and rejection) of
the unknown and of uncharted
(please forgive the pun)
territory.
There are some very knowledgeable and experienced
people who contribute to
this forum and I sincerely hope they
re-weigh the possible benefits against
the personal risk of
derision through exploring something new, offer to
contribute, and
help you to reconsider, BUT; even if that doesn't happen, I
still
hold hope you will reconsider and stay -
please?
Regards,
Cris
