Background
Inno Tech Laboratories, Inc. is comprised of top research scientists and engineers in
the clinical/diagnostic and pharmaceutical industries.
The company has developed a new method of conducting research. The innovative
device is a revolutionary new method of conducting biological specimen analysis as
applied to research and forensic sciences, medical diagnostics, genomic research, and
agricultural development.
There are two primary products. The reader system (Inn Vision) is the platform device
for automating the loading and operating of a sample. The cassette (Inn Sert) is a self-
contained, miniature laboratory processing unit. The Inn Vision system has the
capability of automatically loading and processing multiple reagents and samples
concurrently. The process generates real-time analysis of biological specimens while
significantly reducing costs, eliminating most of the contamination risks, reducing the
handling and disposing of biohazards, and increasing accuracy.
The company has designed a state-of-the-art manufacturing process to insure strict
compliance with quality production. At full production the proposed 250,000 square foot
manufacturing facility will house sixteen production lines capable of producing
approximately one billion units per year.
The placement of this operation in Elgin, IL will result in significant economic benefits to
the City as well as the State of Illinois.
Financing
Financing for the company will be scheduled as follows:
PHASE ACTIVITY COST
Phase I Prototype Validation $ 300,000
Phase II Operations Start-up/ $12,000,000
Tooling/Pre-production
Phase III Post Production/Additional $15,000,000 or less
Production Lines
The timing for the three phases is anticipated to run fifteen (15) months. Phase I was

Section 1. Public Benefit
The Grantee is a governmental entity serving a population of 97,000 residents. To encourage
economic development, the Grantee will use grant funds to assist InnoTech Laboratories, Inc.
(InnoTech)for the final design, construction, testing, and validation of an "In Vitro" diagnostic
device. Specifically, grant funds will be disbursed to InnoTech for operating expenses related to
their operation in Elgin, Illinois.
InnoTech is comprised of top research scientists and engineers from the clinical/diagnostic and
pharmaceutical industries. The company has developed a new method of research. The
innovative device is a revolutionary new method for conducting biological specimen analysis as
applied to research and forensic sciences, medical diagnostics, genomic research, and
agricultural development. There are two primary research products. The reader system (Inn
Vision) is the platform device for automating the loading and operating of a sample. The
cassette (Inn Seri) is a self-contained, miniature laboratory processing unit. The Inn Vision
system has the capability of automatically loading and processing multiple reagents and
samples concurrently. The process generates real-time analysis of biological specimens while
significantly reducing costs, eliminating most of the contamination risks, reducing the handling
and disposing of biohazards, and increasing accuracy. The company has designed a state-of-
the-art manufacturing process to ensure strict compliance with quality production. At full
production the proposed 250,000 square foot manufacturing facility will house sixteen double
production lines capable of producing approximately one billion units per year.
The location of InnoTech Laboratories, Inc. in Elgin, Illinois will result in significant economic
benefits to the City as well as the State of Illinois. It is anticipated that in just a few years,
InnoTech will employ more than 1,000 people, with an annual salary base and benefits totaling
more than $70,000,000 and annual taxes including state income, payroll and real estate totaling
more than $300,000,000.
