VeriChip Corporation And RECEPTORS LLC Successfully Complete Phase I Development Of In Vivo Glucose Sensing RFID Microchip
November 20, 2008

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. & CHASKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VeriChip Corporation ("VeriChip") (NASDAQ:CHIP), a provider of RFID systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, and its development partner RECEPTORS LLC, a technology company whose AFFINITY by DESIGN™ chemistry platform can be applied to the development of selective binding products, announced today that a significant milestone has been achieved toward the development of an in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip. Upon successful completion of the in vivo glucose-sensing RFID development program, this self-contained, implantable bio-sensing device will, for the first time, have the ability to measure glucose levels in the human body through an external scanner, thereby eliminating the need for diabetics to prick their fingers multiple times per day.


The key to the development of the implantable glucose sensor is the self-contained, in vivo capable glucose-sensing system. RECEPTORS' sensing system design is discussed by RECEPTORS' President and Chief Science Officer, Dr. Carlson, in the "Self-Contained Implantable RFID Glucose-Sensing Microchip" white paper that is available on RECEPTORS' and VeriChip's websites. The design of the glucose-sensing system incorporates two critical components. RECEPTORS recently completed Phase I proof-of-concept program successfully prepared prototype examples for both the glucose-selective binding environment and the glucose-competitive signaling component. These critical components were used to demonstrate the bench top format application of the glucose-sensing system to the detection of glucose levels. This demonstration is the proof-of-concept foundation of the glucose-sensing system.


Scott R. Silverman, Chairman of VeriChip, said, "We are not only focused on current opportunities for patient identification within our VeriMed Health Link business, but also on the future applications of RFID in healthcare. The glucose sensor is a promising example, combining a unique application of the technology and an extremely valuable market. While there is much more to do, development of the binding environment was a big step towards reaching that future.
"

In December 2007, VeriChip and RECEPTORS unveiled plans to build a prototype self-contained implantable bio-sensing device included in an RFID microchip. Following VeriChip's purchase of all intellectual property related to the human implantable RFID glucose-sensing microchip from Digital Angel Corporation in November 2008, VeriChip is now RECEPTORS' exclusive partner.


In the next phase of this program, the optimization of the sensing system components, development of the sensing to electronics signal transduction system and incorporation of the devices biocompatible shield will be developed.

  • Another step towards global slavery.

    "Do what we say and worship us or we turn off your chip."

  • @PassFissn This no laughing matter. This whole thing is about control.

  • Something said in the bible much? I believe Megadeth said about this in their song Endgame!

  • Do something before its too late everyone.

    w w w . c c r g . i n f o

  • I'll take my implant right in my forehead.

  • Oh, hell no! They can take their slavery tool, and chub it up their ass. This type of company should be burn to the ground. No human should be lured to be a slave.

  • Would it still be as accurate as other meters are now And also,I thought that was very irresponsible of the older man to say,"I think the goal would be for the diabetic not remember that they're even a diabetic.That it becomes so transparent,what they need to do,its just not a big deal to them anymore.Where as right now, they really have to factor that into their lives." It would be less invasive on everyday life,but you can't just stop being a diabetic because of this.

  • @NoDropLS

    Its a great idea and technology if we lived in a perfect world. Sadly we live in a world that power is all that is desired so your right.

  • whats the problem with this.. as long this chip isnt doing anything els then reading the bloodsugars..?

    oh...shit only six months....whahahaha this is bull...skip it...worthless junk....

    only made in america....

  • HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    CLOSER & CLOSER PEOPLE...........THEY ARE MAKING IT THE NORM!!!!!!!

    GROOMING YOU TO FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE Novus Ordo Seclorum (New World Order)

    SO GLAD FOR THE GLOBAL CONNECTION WE ALL HAVE.

    CAN BE TRANSMITTED TO BY THE POWERS THAT BE.........BUT HEY!, THAT'S THE PLAN.............

  • @Soggon All right, than collect the jews please, and take them to your countrie PLEASE !
