PositiveID Corporation Discusses Recent Acquisition

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SmallCapVoice.com, Inc. today announced it conducted a new audio interview with PositiveID Corporation (“PositiveID” or the “Company”) (OTCQB:PSID), a developer of biological detection and diagnostics solutions. In the interview, which can be heard at http://smallcapvoice.com/blog/10-26-15-smallcapvoice-interview-with-positiveid-corporation-psid, William J. Caragol, Chairman and CEO of PositiveID, discusses the Company’s recent acquisition news and overall acquisition strategy.

Last week PositiveID announced it entered into an agreement to acquire Thermomedics Inc. and the FDA-cleared Caregiver® non-contact thermometer. The acquisition is a part of the Company’s overall growth strategy to add revenue-generating, complementary products with significant market penetration potential to its portfolio. PositiveID expects to close the acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Caregiver®, the world’s first non-contact device with TouchFree™ technology, is a clinical-grade, infrared thermometer for measurement of forehead temperature in adults, children, and infants. Since there is no skin contact and Caregiver does not require probe cover supplies, it reduces the risk of cross-contamination and decreases costs for healthcare facilities.

PositiveID remains focused on its Firefly Dx polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) breadboard prototype pathogen detection system, designed to provide real-time, accurate diagnostic results in less than 20 minutes from a handheld device, thereby leading to treatment scenarios at the point of need that are not possible with existing systems, which require lab-based equipment, highly trained personnel, and can take hours or even days to provide results. Firefly's applications include point-of-need, lab-quality, detection of pathogenic organisms; agricultural and food screening in both domestic sectors and developing countries; and detection of biological agents associated with weapons of mass destruction.
