and services for a broad range of life science, biotechnology,
diagnostic and food safety applications, today reported financial

Second Quarter and Recent Highlights
-
Launched NOVUS BIOLOGICALS and SDIX Partnership - Novus has
seen good initial sales from the over 800 pre-made GAT Polyclonal
Antibodies provided for their catalog. A joint team is collaborating
to create additional novel antibodies using GAT to targets selected by
Novus for inclusion in their catalog offering.
-
Wayne P. Yetter joined SDIX's Board of Directors, effective May 18,
2010 - currently Chief Executive Officer of ProActive for Patients
Media, Inc., Mr. Yetter has a 30-year career in the pharmaceutical
industry, with executive positions at Pfizer, Merck, Astra-Merck (now
AstraZeneca) and Novartis.
-
The RapidChek SELECT Salmonella Enteritidis testing system
was commercially launched - applicable to both egg and poultry
industries, this product is designed specifically to help U.S.
commercial egg producers comply with new FDA regulations that require
them to test poultry houses and eggs for Salmonella
Enteritidis. Initial orders have been placed, and SDIX has begun
shipments while final regulatory validations are underway.
-
Announced multi-year collaboration with Banyan Biomarkers related
to biomarker discovery work in the detection of traumatic brain injury
- SDIX will provide antibody production from Banyan's novel set of
cell lines and will collaborate with them to utilize our complete
range of immunosolutions in the development of additional biomolecules
for this critical research.
Mr. Francis DiNuzzo, the Company's President and CEO, said, "Our results
for the second quarter of 2010, though not demonstrating increased
revenue year over year, continue to show improvement in our operating
model and the impact of our strategic focus on Life Science and Food
Safety. A significant portion of our efforts and resources are now
focused on driving growth in our target markets. We are seeing the
benefits with improved performance in Life Science, and while Food
Safety revenue was down year over year, we believe that the outlook for
the remainder of the year indicates an improving picture. We recently
launched a new testing system that will help U.S. commercial egg
producers implement the FDA-mandated testing for Salmonella
Enteritidis. We are also collaborating with Banyan Biomarkers in their
biomarker work for traumatic brain injury detection. These new
developments exemplify the inroads we are making in our target markets."
