Description

Response Biomedical develops, manufactures and markets rapid on-site
diagnostic tests for use with its portable RAMP Platform for clinical and
environmental applications. RAMP represents a new paradigm in diagnostics that
provides high sensitivity and reliable information in minutes. It is ideally
suited to both point-of-care testing and laboratory use. The RAMP system
consists of a portable fluorescent reader and single-use disposable test
cartridges, and has the potential to be adapted to more than 250 medical and
non-medical tests currently performed in laboratories. RAMP clinical tests are
commercially available for the early detection of heart attack and congestive
heart failure.
In late 2006, the Company formed a strategic alliance with 3M Company to
commercialize rapid infectious disease tests. In the non-clinical market, RAMP
Tests are currently provided for the environmental detection of West Nile
Virus, and Biodefense applications including the rapid on-site detection of
anthrax, smallpox, ricin and botulinum toxin. Several other product
applications are under development. The Company has achieved CE Marking and
its Quality Management System is registered to ISO 13485: 2003 and ISO 9001:
