Sona Nanotech Inc C.SONA

Alternate Symbol(s):  SNANF

Sona Nanotech Inc. is a nanotechnology life sciences company that has developed multiple methods for the manufacturing of various types of gold nanoparticles. The Company is engaged in the research and development of its technology for use in multiplex diagnostic testing platforms and biomedical applications. Its gold nanotechnologies are adapted for use in applications, as a safe and delivery system for multiple medical treatments, for the approval of various regulatory boards, including Health Canada and the Food and Drug administration (FDA). Its gold nanorod particles are manufactured without the use of CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium), eliminating the toxicity risks associated with the use of other gold nanorod technologies in medical applications. The Company leverages its core proprietary gold nanorod (GNR) manufacturing technology and laboratory assets to focus on the development of diagnostic tests and biologic reagents, and the advancement of its GNR intellectual property.

RE:Sensitivity and Specificity Matter

" Sensitivity and specificity values below these values will produce too many false positive and false negative results. These tests will not be authorized, regardless of any other factors." 


REALLY, U SURE ABOUT THAT?

Health Canada considers the following to be unacceptable for authorization:

  • sensitivity below 80% 

Sensitivity values below this level will produce too many false negative results. These tests will not be authorized, regardless of other factors.
