Alexander Tsyganov, C.E.O. for Intro-Micro LLC
• Small and cost-effective gas analyzer based on the patented method of Collisional Electron Spectroscopy (CES)
• Non-invasive continuous monitoring and diagnostics of human metabolism- Sensitivity better 1 ppm- Operates at atmospheric pressure- Pocket-size, small weight, battery operation- Price below $1,000
• Mobile data transmission, bio-informatics and individual genomics used for preventive medicine
• CES-detectors sales & services (B2C and B2B) • Prototype under development and investigation
Problem: clear gap in medicine - lack of continuous monitoring of individual metabolism (basis of preventive healthcare)Solution: non-invasive diagnostics of volatile bio-markers emitted by human body using our pocket-size CES-detector
• Growing number of diseases can be diagnosed by “sniffing” the patient: lung cancer, tuberculosis, COPD, asthma, diabetes, kidney disease, mammary cancer, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, etc.
• Each individual has a genetic “gasprint”. Link of genomics to metabolomics
• Continuous control of the nutrition and lifestyle, metabolic scoring
• 10 times smaller & cheaper than traditional gas analyzing competitors.• Smartphone-based m-Health solutions (ALiveCor, LifeWatch, etc.) cannot sniff. • Key patent portfolio on CES technology: US 7309992, Japan 4408810, Germany, France and UK
EP1557667, China ZL200380106502.2, Russia 2217739.
Smith Detection Sabre 4000: 3 kg, 36,3 x 11 x 13 cm , $28,934 MSRP
CES-based Health Monitor: 30 g, 1x1x1 cm, < $999 MSRP
Market of m-Health• “Intelligent accessories that focus on training, weight management
and healthcare monitoring of chronic disease…”- Projected to reach 110 million units in 2017, up from 10 million in
2012*• Total mHealth market projected to grow to $23B by 2017**, from
$1.3B in 2012 ($6.6B for devices)

All necessary main competences are “on board”
The Team
• Invested to-date - $0.1M (patenting and start of prototype development)• Round A investments situation: 25% company’s share is negotiated with
business-angels to invest $0.3M for + we are eligible to apply for a matching (1:3) Skolkovo grant $0.9M for proof of concept and experimental prototype of CES-detector. Company’s estimated valuation is $2.1M
• For the next Round B we are seeking for $2M in equity investment addressed to development of commercial prototype and clinical studies of diagnostics methods based on volatile biomarker molecules detection using CES-detectors. Expected share of investor – minority
• We are also looking for a young person (investor + our director of business development, IR and GR). Moving our global humanistic project, he/she will be welcomed and able to enter all high societies worldwide!
