Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. announced today that Biotek Sdn Bhd has purchased its first MIT 1000 System. Biotek Sdn Bhd was recently signed as the company’s distributor for Malaysia and other Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) which includes Indonesia, Singapore, The Philippines, Thailand and Cambodia, in addition to others.

Recognized as a premier distributor in the food protection market, Biotek distributes products that are complementary to the MIT 1000 Rapid Microbial Identification System. “Our sales strategy is to demonstrate the features and benefits of this System in typical applications, enabling prospective clients to immediately understand its value. We have found this approach produces much faster sales than other traditional methods,” commented Biotek’s Director, W.C. Fong. “We are pleased to add the MIT 1000 System to our product portfolio. Its rapid test time coupled with its low operating cost will be attractive to many of our customers.”

Trading on the OTCBB, Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. is a company who aims to become a global leader in developing, supporting, and marketing rapid systems and processes that detect and identify microbial organisms. Headquartered in San Clemente, California, they have developed and patented a technology for rapid microbe identification (ID). The Company’s technology is a non-biological identification process that is extremely fast, easy to use, and does not rely on conventional chemical or biological processing, fluorescent tags, gas chromatography, or DNA analysis.

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.’s technology is the MIT 1000 System (System). The System ID process is totally “Green”, requiring only water and a sample of the unknown bacteria. The System measures scattered light intensity as individual microbes pass through a laser beam. The intensity pattern of the scattered light is a direct consequence of the size, shape, and external and internal optical characteristics of the microbe. The MIT 1000

Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. announced that it has entered into a strategic business development relationship with OPH Ltd. Hong Kong, crucial to securing a manufacturing partner in Asia. OPH will also develop this market for the Micro Imaging Technology (MIT) 1000 Rapid Microbial Identification System by working closely with existing MIT and its distributors to identify and select other strategic partners to expand the company’s business in Asia. MIT recently received Performance Test Method Certification for the Identification of Listeria from the AOAC Research Institute and is now focused on accelerating the commercialization of the MIT 1000.

David Harris, chairman of OPH Ltd. stated, “The MIT 1000 technology is truly a revolutionary development in rapid detection of microbial pathogens. We are very pleased and excited to partner with MIT in delivering these exceptional technological benefits to Asian producers and consumers. The speed, accuracy and cost-savings provided by the MIT 1000 System
