nicht das Ende des Aufwärtstrends!
Biomedi, ich bin bei Dir!
Bin kräftig investiert und aktuell über 70% im plus.
Aber, hey, ich rede hier nicht über nochmal ein paar Prozent, sondern darüber, daß hinter die % noch mehr als 1 Nill kommen wird!

Wer möchte noch gerne nachkaufen?
Es läuft jetzt wirklich in die richtige Richtung bei hohem Endspurtvolumen zum Schluss der US Börse. Das sollte doch gute Neuigkeiten erwarten lassen. Handelt ihr in den USA oder hier? Ich wuerde gerne nachkaufen aber der Spread in Deutschland gefällt mir gar nicht ud ich habe noch nie in den USA gehandelt. Geht das über Consors einfach und "billig"? Bei 0,21 USD sollten wir doch in D knapp 0,15 Euro haben.
Gruss Biomedi
P:S: Calypte hat doch in Europa keine Niederlassung (ausser in Russland), stimmts?

und biomedi, du unverbesserlicher
optimist, was schließen wir daraus?
haben sie euch wie immer annder nasew herumgeführt. je länger es dauert und je öfter ihr darauf reinfallt, umso mehr erinnert ihr mich an den esel, der immer weiterläuft, weil ihm die möhre an einem stock vom kutschbock aus vor die nase gehalten wird...
aber was solls, es funktioniert eben immer und immer wieder mit euch. solange ihr das nicht begreift, verkauft GALe euch weiter neue aktien...bis ihr diese irgendwann mit in die kiste nehmt...unglaublich diese einsichtslosigkeit und dieser starrsinn

Calypte Opens Geneva Branch Office
Calypte Opens Geneva Branch Office
Geneva Office to Expand Company’s Relationships with International Organizations
And to Lead Marketing Efforts of Diagnostic Products to Europe, Central Asia and French-speaking Africa
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Calypte Biomedical Corporation (OTCBB: CBMC), a manufacturer of medical diagnostic tests for the rapid detection of antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), announced today that it has established a branch office in Geneva, Switzerland to expand the Company’s relationships with International Organizations, as well as market its diagnostic tests to Europe, Central Asia and French-speaking Africa. The Company named experienced executives Khatuna Janjalia, President and Kartlos Edilashvili, Vice President of the Geneva Branch Office.
“We believe that a regional presence on the ground is a key component in reaching these new markets, which represent attractive opportunities for Aware®,” said Roger I. Gale, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Calypte. “The Geneva Branch Office will also provide policy and technical advisory services for the Company, liaising with external counterparts in international NGO, humanitarian organizations and multilaterals based out of Geneva.”
Ms. Janjalia joins Calypte from the Audit Control and Expertise Group (ACE), where she was Head of the Department for East Europe, South Caucasus and Central Asia. While there, she established and strengthened affairs with partner companies in the countries within Eastern Europe, South Caucasus and Central Asia. She also originated structured trade and commodity finance. ACE serves major international/local banks, trading companies and suppliers of manufactured goods and equipment in the field of international commodity risk management. As a credit enhancement organization, it provides third-party asset management, quality assurance and inspection services. Previously, she was a Senior Representative for International and Media Relations of the World Agency of Planetary Monitoring and Earthquake Risk Reduction (WAPMERR). She also held position as Consul of the Embassy of Georgia to Switzerland, the Counsellor of the Permanent Mission of Georgia to the UN Office and other International organizations at Geneva.
“I am excited to join Calypte where I expect to use my relationships to help market Aware® to governments and international organizations,” said Ms. Janjalia. “Geneva represents the ideal location, as many of the organizations involved in global healthcare, such as the Global Fund, UNAIDS and the World Health Organization (WHO) are based here. Geneva is where all countries have diplomatic representations to these organizations as well. With the need for accurate cost-effective treatment in developing countries, I look forward to helping Calypte play an important role in the prevention and treatment of HIV.”
Mr. Edilashvili joins Calypte from WAPMERR, where he was a senior technical adviser. Previously, he was the First Secretary for the Permanent Mission of Georgia to the U.N. Office and other International organizations at Geneva.

Calypte's Chinese Manufacturing Subsidiary Obtains Medical Device Manufacturing Permit
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 10, 2008--Calypte Biomedical Corporation (OTCBB: CBMC), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of HIV diagnostic tests, announced today that its Chinese manufacturing subsidiary, Beijing Marr Bio-pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., ("Beijing Marr"), has received a permit to manufacture medical devices issued by the Beijing branch of the Chinese Food and Drug and Administration. The manufacturing permit enables the facility to manufacture in vitro diagnostic tests for the domestic Chinese market once specific product approval is received. The permit is required before Beijing Marr can sell an approved product within the country. Beijing Marr is currently awaiting approval from the China State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) to distribute and sell Calypte's Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT rapid diagnostic test within China.
Beijing Marr, a joint venture between Calypte and a Marr Group subsidiary was established to manufacture Calypte's Aware(TM) line of rapid HIV tests, including the Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT product for both the Chinese and international markets. The Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT product is a rapid test using oral fluid to diagnose HIV-1 or HIV-2 infection in as little as 20 minutes with an accuracy comparable to that of U.S. FDA approved blood based laboratory HIV EIA tests.
Roger I. Gale, Calypte's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Coming on the heels of the recent ISO 13485 Certification of Beijing Marr's manufacturing facility, this permit is another significant milestone that brings us much closer to our objective of manufacturing and marketing our rapid test product for the Chinese market."
David K. Harris, Chief Executive Officer of Beijing Marr stated, "This permit is required because the State Food and Drug Administration moved regulatory oversight for HIV tests from the Drug Division to the Medical Device Division. Our team has been working diligently to obtain this permit to ensure that we will be permitted to manufacture our Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT test once it has been approved for sale in China."
About The Marr Group:
The Marr Group is a private group of companies having a large and diverse number of investments and projects globally, principally in Europe, the Far East, the Middle East and the CIS.
About Calypte Biomedical:
Calypte Biomedical Corporation (www.calypte.com) is a U.S.-based healthcare company focused on the development and commercialization of rapid testing products for sexually transmitted diseases such as the Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT test that are suitable for use at the point of care and at home. Calypte believes there is a significant need for rapid detection of such diseases globally to control their proliferation, particularly in developing countries, which lack the medical infrastructure to support laboratory-based testing. Calypte believes that testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infectious diseases may make important contributions to public health, and could increase the likelihood of treating those with undetected HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Chinese State FDA Completes Technical Review of Calypte Biomedical's Oral HIV Test Application
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 24, 2008--Calypte Biomedical Corporation (OTCBB: CBMC), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of HIV diagnostic tests, announced today that the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration ("SFDA") has notified Calypte's Chinese manufacturing subsidiary, Beijing Marr Bio-pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., ("Beijing Marr") that the technical review of its Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT rapid oral test product application has been completed. Pending the SFDA's review of conformity to product standard documents and labeling to applicable regulations, the application will progress to the concluding administrative approval.
Roger I. Gale, Calypte's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "This is a major milestone in a long and difficult approval process. We are extremely pleased that the SFDA has determined that our scientific data has met their criteria, and that we are now moving into the final phase of the registration process. We believe that in meeting the technical standards established by the SFDA, we have demonstrated to them the high quality of our product."
Dr. Ronald W. Mink, Calypte's Chief Science Officer, commented, "The technical review is considered the most challenging and lengthy portion of the SFDA review process, and is the penultimate milestone in the approval process. We are absolutely delighted that we have overcome what is arguably the highest hurdle in the approval process, and are ready to move into the final administrative stage."
David K. Harris, Beijing Marr's Chief Executive Officer stated that, "The notice from the SFDA is of paramount importance and indicates that the substantive content of the application and the technology itself have met with the acceptance of the SFDA and are acceptable for the Chinese market. Nearing the end of an arduous approval process, we are very proud to see this recognition of years of hard work in developing the Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT product."
Calypte operates in China through Beijing Marr, a joint venture between Calypte and the Marr Group established to manufacture Calypte's Aware(TM) line of rapid HIV tests, including the Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT product for both the Chinese and international markets.
