Revenue Recognition [Abstract]
DARPA CONTRACT AND RELATED REVENUE RECOGNITION	As discussed in Note 1, we entered into a government contract with DARPA on September 30, 2011 and commenced work on such contract in October 2011. Originally, only the base year (year one contract) was effective for the parties, however, effective August 16, 2012, DARPA exercised the option on the second year of the contract. Years three through five are subject to DARPA exercising their option to enter into contracts for those years. As a result of achieving five contract milestones between October 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012, we reported $1,358,189 in contract revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. As a result of achieving six milestones in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, we reported $1,230,004 in contract revenue for that fiscal year. Originally, only the base year (year one contract covering October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012) was effective for the parties, however, effective August 16, 2012, DARPA exercised the option on the second year of the contract. Years three through five are subject to DARPA exercising their option to enter into contracts for those years. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we invoiced the US Government for the twelfth milestone under our DARPA contract in the amount of $195,596 and received that payment. The details of that milestone were as follows: Milestone 2.3.2.2 – Formulate initial design based on work from previous phase. Begin to build and test selected instrument design and tubing sets. The milestone payment was $195,596. Management considers this milestone to be substantive as it was not dependent on the passage of time nor was it based solely on another party's efforts. We demonstrated that we were able to build and test selected instrument design and tubing sets. The report was accepted by the contracting officer's representative and the invoice was submitted thereafter. In the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we invoiced the US Government for the sixth milestone under our DARPA contract in the amount of $216,747 and received that payment. The details of that milestone were as follows: Milestone 2.2.2.3 - Perform preliminary quantitative real time PCR to measure viral load, and specific DNA or RNA targets. The milestone payment was $216,747. Management considers this milestone to be substantive as it was not dependent on the passage of time nor was it based solely on another party's efforts. We demonstrated that we were able to measure viral load of one or more targets as part of our submission for approval. The report was accepted by the contracting officer's representative and the invoice was submitted thereafter. In a related matter, DARPA recently awarded a related contract for $22,830,840 to Battelle Memorial Institute (“Battelle”) to be the systems integrator for the various components being developed under the original contract, including our two components of the project. We agreed to become a subcontractor to Battelle under that systems integrator contract. That subcontract will be under a time and materials basis and we expect to begin generating revenues under the subcontract during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. We did not record any revenue from that subcontract in the three months ended June 30, 2013. Our expected revenue from the subcontract will be at the discretion of Battelle. We have not placed a reserve for doubtful accounts on receivables under our DARPA contract since they represent a credit risk related to the U.S. government.
