Medical device technology provider Therma Bright (TSX.V: THRM) (OTC: THRBF) this morning
announced that its TherOZap(TM) Technology has been proven successful at
inhibiting the Zika virus during in-vitro tests. According to the update,
Therma engaged a top Virology Research Laboratory in Canada to study the
ability of its TherOZap(TM) technology to inactivate live Zika virus in culture
media and to determine inhibition of the Zika virus infection in-vitro in
selected cell cultures. Study researchers stated that, “the in-vitro testing
has shown that a short heat pulse from the TherOZap(TM) device dramatically
inhibits the production of infectious Zika virus in multiple cell types.” The
results demonstrated that TherOZap(TM), which utilizes specialized materials,
coatings and heat, was able to limit Zika virus (“ZIKV”) cell culture
replication. “We are extremely pleased with the test results of our patent
pending TherOZap(TM) technology to inhibit the Zika virus,” Therma Bright CEO
Rob Fia said in the news release. “We look forward to testing our technology
further and to potentially investigate other applications of the TherOZap(TM)
technology against other mosquito borne diseases. We will identify partners to
work with in these new indications and will seek non-dilutive funding to help
fund the research in these new areas.”
