The news came a day after it sold the tech to a casino in Boston, possibly owned by gambling giant Wynn although as yet unconfirmed by CCP. That news sent the shares up 60 per cent.
The company said a new device has been tested by Monash University to withstand temperatures down to -80 degrees Celsius. The end use is as part of software that can continuously monitor temperatures at extreme low temperatures, such as for biological samples.
Also in this field is BlueChiip (ASX:BCT), which has a three-year, $16m supply deal for semiconductor-based readers and chips with Labcon in the US.
CCP says it won’t reveal the value of the casino contract until it’s installed in July.
The company is looking to chalk up some wins after a steady run of losses, which included a pretty disastrous foray into crypto, key management changes and an effort to raise some more capital.
