DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Aug. 18, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PositiveID Corporation (“PositiveID” or “Company”) (OTCQB:PSID), a life sciences company focused on detection and diagnostics, announced today that it will present and exhibit as a premier sponsor at the Next Generation Dx Summit from August 23-26, 2016, at the Grand Hyatt Washington in Washington, D.C. PositiveID’s President, Lyle L. Probst, will feature the Company’s E-N-G Mobile Systems subsidiary, a leader in mobile laboratories, in his presentation: “Mobile Labs: Bringing Labs to the Point of Need.” 

PositiveID’s Chief Scientist, Dr. Kimothy Smith, will be a panel speaker during the “Disruptive Innovation in Laboratory Medicine: Game-Changing Technologies and Approaches” session. The Company will also exhibit its mobile labs, molecular diagnostics and medical device businesses.   

PositiveID’s E-N-G Mobile Systems (“ENG”) business is a leader in engineering and producing its proprietary MobiLab™ Systems, mobile labs for biological, chemical, radiological and nuclear testing applications. Over 400 ENG MobiLabs are in operation throughout the world. ENG was the first company to install gas chromatography in a mobile lab, and is a pioneer in developing mobile platforms that allow standard laboratory-grade instruments to be operated successfully in the field.

During the plenary session, Smith will feature PositiveID’s Firefly Dx, a point-of-need (“PON”), handheld system designed to deliver molecular diagnostic results from a sample in less than 30 minutes, compared to hours or even days for a lab device, using real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) chemistry.
