The agreement also includes an option for Novartis to further extend project support through January 2, 2012.

“Novartis' decision to place a next-generation BACcel™ system into its own lab adds another independent team of microbiologists. We believe that this step reinforces our growing recognition in the medical community as uniquely providing complete, same-day automated diagnostics for ICU patients.”
