    After many months UBI finally has an ASX Announcement that will bring insto interested in small caps back into buying the stock.
    This is part of the ASX Announcement Dec 9 "

    Universal Biosensors, Inc. (ASX: UBI) is pleased to announce that Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. ("Siemens") has received CE Mark approval for the Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer, the first point-of-care coagulation analyzer developed in collaboration with Universal Biosensors.
    The Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer is a prothrombin time (PT-INR) testing system used to monitor the application of the anti-coagulant therapy, Warfarin. Universal Biosensors will exclusively manufacture PT-INR strips for Siemens at the Company’s existing plant in Rowville, Victoria.
    The CE marking follows the receipt of two commercial orders from Siemens for the production and supply of PT-INR test strips by Universal Biosensors, and is the final step prior to product launch in Europe.
    The CE marking is mandatory for any company prior to selling its product within the 31 countries operating in the European Economic Area. The CE marking indicates a product is fully compliant with all relevant EU legislation and can move freely within the European Economic Area.
    It is estimated about ten million patients globally are taking Warfarin. Patients are prescribed the drug for a variety of reasons, including the treatment of blood clots in the veins or certain heart conditions which increase the likelihood of a potentially life-threatening clot forming. Patients on Warfarin require frequent testing of the clotting tendency of their blood. PT-INR testing allows physicians to adjust patient doses for diet and lifestyle changes.
    According to recent research, the worldwide point-of-care coagulation testing market was estimated at around US$1.0 billion in 2014 and is forecast to grow by 9% per annum to US$1.4 billion by 2018.1 The coagulation testing market is dominated by PT-INR testing, which represents about 65% of this market. "
    My Comment: UBI should soon see Siemens announce the product launch, another positive for the stock.

    PS This has been a slow journey but at least the train is now moving forward.
