| Source: Micro Imaging Technology, Inc.
SAN CLEMENTE, CA--(Marketwire - June 12, 2007) - Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (OTCBB : MMTC ) announced today that it has sold and installed two bacteria
identification systems in Tokyo, Japan. The first system was installed at
Yotsubishi Corporation. Mr. Yukihiro Shibata, President of Yotsubishi
Corporation, an instrumentation distribution company, stated, "We are very
impressed with this new identification technology and are looking forward
to aggressively marketing it to our Asian customers."
The second system was installed at the Japan Food Research Laboratory in
Tokyo under the supervision of Tadashi Tsuchiya. The system will be used
for testing of bacteria in food. Upon successful testing of the system,
this organization will issue a certificate confirming the viability of the
MIT system.
About Micro Imaging Technology:
MIT has developed and patented a laser-based technology for rapid microbe
detection and identification. 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 System is
non-biological and does not rely on biological agents, conventional
chemical processing, fluorescent tags, gas chromatography or DNA analysis.
MIT has demonstrated the ability to detect and identify, within minutes,
the microbes Escherichia coli, Listeria, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus,
Shigella and other pathogenic bacteria and protozoa; including
Cryptosporidium and Giardia. The identification process has been tested and
verified by North American Science Associates, Inc. (NAMSA), an independent
and internationally recognized testing and certification laboratory. The
NAMSA Test Report, available from the Company, confirms the accuracy, speed
and efficiency of the MIT system over conventional processes.
