Patent Awarded for Mini Chemical Detection Device
Contributed by: Jo-Ann Herrick on 3/14/2008

(Golden, Colorado) -The U.S. Patent Office has awarded Dr. George Radziszewski a U.S. Patent(No. 7,342,664) for his revolutionary ChemiD Mini Lab, a miniature devicethat will identify chemical compounds on demand.

The ChemiD Mini Labis designed to meet the critical need for an inexpensive, miniaturizedanalytical tool capable of rapidly and accurately detecting, identifying and monitoring the concentration of chemical substances.

The ChemiD Mini Labis a novel configuration of a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer for spectrochemical analysis.FTIRis an instrument that can detect and decipher the molecular "fingerprint" of any chemical compound. Current FTIR technology is large, cumbersome and expensive.

"The ongoing hostilities in the MiddleEast and threats to homeland security underscore the need for an improved meansof identifying explosives and toxic chemicals, so the market for such a deviceis enormous," according to Dr. Radziszewski, founder and CEO of ChemiD Research, LLC. He goes on to state; "our device could also contribute to improvements in energy efficiency, indoor/outdoor air quality and heighten the safety and security in millions of buildings worldwide. "Similarly, the medical community "will benefit from a greatly enhanced potential for conducting non-invasive blood and bodily fluids sampling."

"Imagine every first responder and combat soldier with a handheld,chemical-detecting portable and automatic lab costing less than $500!" says Dr. Radziszewski. The patent culminates years of extensive research. The ChemiD Mini Labwill be the smallest, least expensive and most powerful device yet to be introduced. Capable of real-timedetection and identification of explosives, chemicals, narcotics and other airborne contaminants, Dr.Radziszewski's patent is on its way to a huge commercial success!

Prototype testing will take several months followed by the development of commercial packaging before units will be available.

With his device, Dr. Radziszewski envisions contribution to an improved quality of life, as consumers are able to determine potentially hazardous chemicals in their food and environment or perform non-invasive blood lab work as easily as they use a watch to tell time or read a thermometer to determine the temperature.

ChemiDResearch is a Limited Liability Company formed in 2004 in the State ofColorado.(www.chemid.com)
