Description: Signet Diagnostic Corporation is an expansion phase Florida “C” Corporation in Riviera Beach, Florida. Signet began as an R&D firm for specialty immunology and allergy testing in 1994. Signet’s discoveries led it to diversify into medical device development in 1997. Signet subsequently opened a commercially viable fully licensed Medical Specialty Laboratory. Signet invented and patented a new method of analyzing blood immune cells (the “Ribbon Method” of impedance analysis) with innate accuracy greater than any other available laboratory device for the intended purpose. This analytical method led Signet to the invention, patent, and commercial development of the MRT™ (Mediator Release Test™). With MRT™, Signet’s laboratory can accurately identify non-allergic (non-classic food allergy) adverse immune reactions to foods, chemicals in foods, as well as the full spectrum of additive flavorings, colorings, and adulterations typical of the modern diet. This is an important mass-marketable medical breakthrough due to the high prevalence of harmful internal inflammatory reactions to foods and food additives seen in the populations of all developed countries. Signet also developed and markets their branded lifestyle modification program used by doctors, dietitians, nutritionists, and athletic trainers, to implement MRT results: The LEAP Program® (Lifestyle, Eating and Performance). MRT and LEAP have entered the healthcare market and are poised for rapid growth. The GEN4MRT device is fully developed and ready for manufacture and sale in proven key international markets. Signet is seeking funding to expand into manufacture and distribution of its devices with its strategic partner, NPE Systems, Inc. a well respected FDA approved manufacturer of specialty devices for major lab device brands.
