Damn…Should’ve invested my money in this company when I had a chance!
Ugh well…But then again, I was a little bit broke when I first heard the news…
On October 8th, 2004, Isonic Corporation (Symbol: ISON) released a statement saying that they will serve worldwide demand for anti-terror solutions with next-generation technologies and products. First, let me tell you a little bit about this company.

Isonic Corporation has three business divisions:
(1) Isonics Semiconductor
(2) Isonics Life Sciences
(3) Homeland Security and Defense
Isonics is a world leader in isotopically engineered materials and through its semiconductor division produces isotopically
pure silicon-28 chemicals and wafers for the semiconductor industry. Through advances in nanotechnology, the Company is also focused on research and development opportunities for further, value-added product and application development. Isonics’ Life Sciences division markets and sells stable isotopes for the health care industry such as carbon-13 for diagnostic breath tests and drug design, and radioisotopes and stable isotopes, such as oxygen-18 for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.

Sounds interesting? At that time, the stock was traded around $2.50/share.

Today, they released another statement saying that they have scheduled the premier public demonstration of a prototype of its NeutroTest(TM) explosive detection product. The presentation, which will be available to the public via the Internet, has been scheduled for Noon EDT, October 21.

Do you know anything about NeuroTest explosive detection product?

The NeutroTest(TM) product is a portable, hand-held device designed to provide first-responders with a powerful tool for quickly and easily evaluating an explosive threat in the form of a suspicious package or purported explosive device. It was designed to be capable of detecting as little as 200 grams of TNT or other explosive material through 5 mm of steel. The NeutroTest(TM) device uses a stream of neutrons to penetrate
to the interior of objects, such as packages or suitcases, and interact with the materials inside. When interacting with neutrons, every element produces a unique data “signature,” consisting of back-scattered neutrons, gamma rays and other information. NeutroTest(TM) analyzes the data streams and informs the operator viaa readable display if the contents are potentially dangerous.
This neutron-based technology is distinct from the x-ray scanning systems commonly used in package and suitcase security inspections, and provides unique types of information about the packages or cases being evaluated. X-rays simply detect shapes and density, and provide pictures of the contents of containers. Neutrons have the ability to provide information regarding the nature of the chemical composition while x-rays do not. (Source: Yahoo News)

Pretty fancy, huh?
Yupp, sure enough…After this statement was released, the price/share went up by $1.19 and currently it’s traded at $3.37/share. I have a feeling that this one is going to hit $5/share by the end of the year. If you happen to have a couple of hundred dollars to spare, I’d strongly suggest to invest in this company. They were also saying that their product, hand-held NeutroTest(TM), will give first-responders a portable tool for quickly and easily evaluating an explosive threat in the form of a suspicious package or purported explosive device. Isonics believes that this modestly priced product may become an essential tool for bomb squads, police departments, fire departments, customs agencies and security services worldwide.
Still not convinced?
