Sixth Wave and York University Co-Develop a Fluorometric Microfluidic AMIPs Device

Sixth Wave and York University Co-Develop a Fluorometric Microfluidic AMIPs Device

Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. (CSE: SIXW) (OTCQB: SIXWF) (FSE: AHUH) ("Sixth Wave", "SIXW" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the development of it's Accelerated Molecular Imprinted Polymers (AMIPs™) and ongoing collaboration with York University.

Sixth Wave has successfully integrated its AMIP™ technology into a multicomponent microfluidic device with fluorescent detection. The prototype device, created by Dr. Pouya Rezai's and Dr. Satinder Brar's groups at York University, coats a thin layer of AMIPs™ polymer onto fluorescent magnetic microparticles. As the ultra-thin AMIP™ polymer shell binds the target pathogen, a change in the fluorescent signal is detected by the device. The integration of the detectors with microfluidics devices and "lab-on-a-chip" designs allow screening for multiple pathogens with a single test/device.
