SUTIMCo International Inc. to Attend 125th AOAC Annual Meeting

SANTA ANA, Calif., Sept. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SUTIMCo International, Inc. (Pink Sheets: SUTI) is pleased to announce that it will send a corporate executive to the 125th Annual Meeting of The Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC) being held September 18-21 in New Orleans.   For over a century, AOAC has developed method validation programs for medical devices as well as proficiency testing and accreditation programs for laboratories.  The meeting is an international showcase for medical devices, attracting manufacturers and the customers who use their products in the lab, the plant and in the field.

SUTIMCo Vice President of Business Development Ed Ellsworth will attend the AOAC meeting to discuss the latest developments at CapWave Sensors, Inc. to produce Searchlight™ - a portable medical device initially serving the food safety testing market.  CapWave will make announcements soon regarding new strategic partnerships for product development that will accelerate time to market and contribute innovative technology to Searchlight.

AOAC is a global organization of 3,000 members whose scientific interests are in the agricultural, food, drug, and environmental science communities.  The annual meeting attracts some of the top firms in the industry including: Agilent Technologies, Thermo Scientific, Romer Labs, Biotage, Fisher Scientific and bioMerieux.

"Our presence at AOAC gives CapWave the opportunity to meet with prospective customers and introduce them to the Searchlight technology," stated Ed Ellsworth, Vice President of Business Development for SUTIMCo International, Inc.  "These are the experts in the labs.  I'm eager to get their input on our technology, learn precisely what they need and apply that to our product."

CapWave's Searchlight™ testing device is a rapid, sensitive, and portable amino chemistry platform based on the Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) biochemical technique.  For food safety testing, Searchlight is capable of detecting toxins including E. coli, salmonella, listeria and campylobacter.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 48 million people (1 in 6 Americans) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die each year from foodborne diseases.

"As we bring strategic partners on board, both CapWave and the Searchlight device come into greater focus," Ellsworth said.  "As I share our story at AOAC, I believe the industry will be intrigued by this device.  More sensitivity, more speed, smaller sample sizes, it's an elegant solution."

The Searchlight™ device will first be available for food safety testing.  Product development for the veterinary and in vitro diagnostic markets is also being evaluated.
