Ante,

The price seems to have stabilized recently and the volume has been good. My last purchase was in the 30's and I am happy with the number of shares I own. Since a large percentage of them were bought in the 20's, I still will only buy more if it gets down to 10 or 15 cents which appears unlikely at this time.

I don't follow possible funding sources as closely as you, but a thought came to mind. If the early sales of the beads goes well, perhaps Merck Chemie could advance them funds against future bead sales, plus interest of course. If that is feasible, there would be no further dilution needed and the price would be free to continue up as the analyzer gets closer to market.

So far at least, we have avoided the usual curse of reverse stock splits for penny stocks. Let's hope it continues to defy historical market gravity!
