The company said that the device does not require drawing of any blood or fasting, providing a result in less than 80 seconds.
By using a visible light, the Scout DS device measures the optical signature of fluorescent biomarkers in the skin, the accumulation accelerated by abnormal blood sugar levels and oxidative stress.
Miraculins president and CEO Christopher Moreau said: "I am very pleased to confirm that Miraculins has now executed an agreement that allows for the sale and distribution of Scout DS devices into China, which represents a significant potential revenue stream for the company over the term of the agreement.
"With Cachet Pharmaceutical appointed as our exclusive distributor for mainland China, we are confident that we have the right partner in place to penetrate the marketplace and bring this new testing technology to millions of Chinese at risk and in need."
