WEST LAFAYETTE, IN – AIT Laboratories is proud to announce that President and CEO Michael A. Evans, Ph.D. was invited to join the board of directors for Perfinity BioSciences, Inc., a newly formed entity that recently raised $2.33 million in new capital.

Perfinity was formed by Quadraspec, Inc. to pursue a new business plan, focusing on sample preparation techniques and tools to facilitate mass spectrometry. Perfinity has filed for a patent on a new method of sample preparation for mass spectrometers, developed by Fred Regnier, Ph.D., a member of the faculty of Purdue University, and one of the original scientific founders of Quadraspec. Regnier’s innovation is expected to dramatically accelerate the preparation of samples to be analyzed by mass spectrometers, significantly reducing time and labor while improving throughput.

Perfinity announced the merger on June 21.
