New York City — Advance Nanotech, Inc. announced the acquisition of approximately 10 percent equity stake in Singular ID, a nanotechnology spin-off company from the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) in Singapore. As Singular ID commences the commercialization of its technology, Senior Vice President of Business Development, Stephanie Interbartolo will assume a seat on Singular ID's Board of Directors.
