NVE Awarded NSF Grant to Develop Biosensors  EDEN
PRAIRIE, Minn.—June 5, 2013—NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC) announced
today that it has been awarded a one-year grant for approximately $224,000 by
the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop biosensors to enhance food safety.
The grant, titled “Real Time Detection for Salmonella,” was awarded under NSF’s Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) program, which funds cooperative projects involving businesses and research institutions. The University of Minnesota and the University of Florida will cooperate with NVE on the project. The goal of the project will be to develop sensors capable of faster detection of food-borne pathogens than current techniques while retaining equivalent sensitivity. The sensor could also be extensible to other biomarkers and could be envisioned as a critical point-of-care sensor in the medical industry. NVE is a leader in the practical commercialization of spintronics, a nanotechnology that relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store and transmit information. The company manufactures high-performance spintronic products including sensors and couplers that are used to acquire and transmit data. NVE has also licensed its spintronic magnetoresistive random access memory technology, commonly known as MRAM.
