Kontrol BioCloud®
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 19, 2020 / Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE:KNR)(OTCQB:KNRLF)(FSE:1K8) ("Kontrol" or "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the timing of the next stage of testing for the Kontrol BioCloud® analyzer ("BioCloud").
For more than a decade, through its operating subsidiaries, Kontrol has been providing air quality testing and continuous emission monitoring across hundreds of industrial facilities in Canada and the USA. BioCloud represents an extension and further innovation of an existing air quality technology and solution platform which Kontrol currently provides to its customers.
"We are drawing on our extensive experience in air quality and emission monitoring for specific particulate analysis and measurement and using similar technology to detect for COVID-19 in the air," says Paul Ghezzi, CEO of Kontrol. "Over the past 6 months, we have secured government funding, established partnerships with virology experts, and developed a proprietary COVID-19 detection chamber. Our initial lab results and interest from potential customers and prospects give us the confidence that we are developing a solution which the market demands. We look forward to providing more details as we continue BioCloud's development."
Next Stage of Testing
Live COVID-19 virus testing will commence on August 19th, 2020 and is expected to continue until the end of the month. The testing will focus on the capability of the working BioCloud prototype to sample the COVID-19 virus in aerosol form and seek to establish the lower detection limits that can be achieved. Kontrol will publish the results following the testing.
Detection Mechanism
Kontrol has designed BioCloud with a replaceable detection mechanism. Kontrol will seek to patent the detection mechanism following the next stage of testing. Kontrol will also analyze the best method of replacing and disposing of the detection mechanism after it comes into contact with COVID-19. The detection mechanism has been built to be an ongoing replaceable component of the BioCloud technology.
"BioCloud will seek to sample the air over-time on a continuous basis, which is similar to how we currently test for air quality in industrial facilities. Applications for BioCloud will be focused initially on classrooms, hospitals, long-term care homes, and mass transportation." said Gary Saunders, Kontrol's Vice President.
Pre-Commercialization Prototypes
Kontrol has built one operating prototype and is in the process of completing four additional pre-commercialization prototypes. These prototypes will be made available for lab testing and also provide Kontrol with greater certainty for developing its supply chain for parts and materials for potential future commercialization. The additional four prototypes will be completed prior to August 31st, 2020.
The Company is not making any express or implied claims that its product has the ability to eliminate, cure or contain the Covid-19 (or SARS-2 Coronavirus) at this time.
