Accelr8 Technology Corporation (Accelr8) focuses on developing and commercializing an integrated system to identify bacteria and their mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in critically ill patients. The acquisition of OpTest portfolio of technologies (OpTest) by the Company provided it with a surface chemistry formulation and quantitative bio-analytical measurement instruments. It has supplemented these assets to develop the BACcel technology platform for applications related to rapid identification of bacteria and their antibiotic resistance.

Accelr8 and Becton Dickinson Conclude Technical Development Project
Sep. 25, 2009 (Business Wire) -- Accelr8 Technology Corporation (NYSE Amex: AXK) announced today that it has concluded a technical development project with Becton, Dickinson and Company (“BD”) (NYSE: BDX). Accelr8’s technology met formal testing requirements for identification of a subset of relevant species of bacteria. However, BD advised the Company that it has decided to decline an associated exclusive technology license option. At any time, BD has numerous new product opportunities, and prioritizes projects on the basis of decision criteria that are not limited to technical factors.

According to David Howson, Accelr8’s president, “We’re disappointed by BD’s decision not to exercise its exclusive option. Nevertheless, we made substantial advances and gained strong supporting technical evidence in the project, including integrated testing using patient specimens. We will continue discussions with other prospective collaborators. The BACcel™ rapid diagnostic system remains the only technology yet supported by published data to have the capability to provide same-day analysis of all significant highly drug-resistant bacteria and their particular resistance mechanisms.”

I dont know if I would watch this one.... looks like most of the holders got off the boat its at a 5yr low ot top of the .05/share loss last quarter.

Wedge / Fry pan breakout, looks nice here. Just be forewarned it is a very thin trader so either you like that or want to keep your position very small.
