Healthcare Biotechnology

Sona Nanotech Inc. is a nanotechnology life sciences company, which is engaged in developing targeted hyperthermia therapy. The Company has developed multiple methods for the manufacturing of various types of gold nanoparticles (GNR). It is engaged in research and development of its technology for use in multiplex diagnostic testing platforms and advanced 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 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), eliminating the toxicity risks associated with the use of other gold nanorod technologies in medical applications. The Company is focused on the development of a pre-clinical nanomedical therapy for the treatment of cancer using its biocompatible GNR.

 					To save society from this virus, we need to focus on daily fast #COVID19 tests. These are more critical now than even vaccines Forget the headlines! These are not less accurate. They are perhaps MORE accurate to tell when transmitting Ill explain

 					To save society from this virus, we need to focus on daily fast #COVID19 tests. These are more critical now than even vaccines Forget the headlines! These are not less accurate. They are perhaps MORE accurate to tell when transmitting Ill explain
 					The “high sensitivity” PCR tests are diagnostic. They look for any remnants of the virus - great for diagnostics But the MAJORITY of time someone is PCR positive, those remnants do not indicate transmissible virus. They indicate remnants of a recently cleared infection
 					Once cleared, PCR remains positive. Most people today who are diagnosed are swabbed after their infective period is over. Perhaps 2-4 weeks! Despite this, contact tracers are deployed to trace their contacts 6 the two days before the collection. This is useless!
 					We need tests that tell you if you are infectious today - “transmission blocking tests”. They are not less accurate than PCR if the goal is detecting transmitting people. They are potentially more accurate bc PCR is usually detecting people no longer transmitting.
