Regarding possible merger, Ulmer revealed that INVI's target company, Miragen, has continued steps toward commercializing its patented Antibody Profiling identification technology. Recently, Miragen signed a licensing agreement with Ag Research of New Zealand, a combined private and government organization, to commit in excess of half a million dollars over the next twelve months to gather data in support of the antibody profile technology. The objective of this investment is to establish traceability of New Zealand sheep and cattle.

Currently, Miragen's head of science, Dr. Thomas Unger, is in Calgary, Canada as an invited speaker to the Beef Improvement Federation. He is addressing the potential application of the antibody profile technology for use in identifying and tracing beef sold in North America. Despite these encouraging signs, any finalization of merger between Miragen and InVitro must await completion of either company's planned financing.

InVitro International is engaged in the development, manufacture, and sale of proprietary, non-animal toxicity testing products and services that ensure the safekeeping of humans and the environment, and that minimize animal testing in commercial and academic enterprise.
