egoi - Wed, 14 Dec 05 :

This is a US stock. MSITF. I took I confess a total punt on this a few weeks ago And it does remain a punt where you could lose the lot, so no apologies if you do - you have been told!.
The stock is quoted on the Nasdaq pink sheets and accounts are awaited which remains a concern for me, though yesterday they said they are 'working on it'!.
Nevertheless with a market cap of c.$2 million and a share price of 0.0007c, a punt might be in order for gamblers.
They make a scan kit for diseases from TB to HIV and varous African fevers and news can be found typing in msitf at www.pinksheets.com

I was able to buy through my TD Waterhouse account.
.
Today they have come out with the latest in a series of potentially huge news announcements.

One quote: 'It is anticipated that these kits will be available within 60 to 90 days.'

Another: 'At this point in time, the Chinese Company supplying Medical Services with the antigen for Avian Flu has the only registered antigen for Avian Flu available worldwide.'

EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec 14, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (OTC: MSITF) is pleased to announce that it has been contracted by a Chinese Corporation to produce a rapid diagnostic test kit for the Avian Flu. This will allow Medical Services to be the only Company with a rapid diagnostic test kit for Avian Flu. It is anticipated that the demand for a rapid diagnostic test kit for the Avian Flu will be significant. The key to manufacturing the rapid test kit for Avian Flu is access to the necessary antigens. At this point in time, the Chinese Company supplying Medical Services with the antigen for Avian Flu has the only registered antigen for Avian Flu available worldwide.

Medical Services has been asked to produce two test kits: One for humans and one for birds and other animals. Medical Services is able to complete this task relatively easily as a result of its previous work on designing test kits for West Nile that can be used on both humans and animals. Our existing technology developed for the West Nile test kit can be modified to be able to detect the Avian Flu virus. It is anticipated that these kits will be available within 60 to 90 days.

Currently there are Avian Flu infections in only birds in Europe while in Asia the Avian Virus is in both humans and birds. In Asia, the Avian Flu has infected humans in 8 countries. Over 100 million birds in the 8 countries have either died from the disease or were killed since 2003 in order to try and control the outbreak of Avian Flu. The key to controlling the outbreak is fast, accurate detection. Medical Services has demonstrated that its VScan rapid diagnostic test kits are fast, accurate, easy to use, require no special training and can be used in remote areas.

It is anticipated that the Avian Flu detection kit for animals will be in great demand in Asia as countries move to try and control the Avian Flu outbreaks without having to destroy entire flocks. Currently it takes humans 3 days to get test results for the Avian Flu. The VScan Avian Flu test kit will give results in under 30 minutes. The key to controlling the Avian Flu will be early detection, isolation and treatment. This can only occur with the fast, accurate, rapid diagnostic test kits for screening using whole blood. It is anticipated that the VScan Avian Flu kit will accomplish this purpose.

I have started a more detailed thread here and I emphasise this is an all or nothing punt, 2.5 million shares cost me a grand recently!
