ArrayIt® Division Reports 40% Sales Increase.

Sunnyvale, CA, September 6, 2006 – On September 6th, TeleChem International, Inc. reported a 40% sales increase in on-line orders for the ArrayIt® Life Sciences Division for August 2006. The 40% increase was calculated as a year-over-year increase from the corresponding time period in 2005. The sharp increase in on-line ordering was driven by rapidly expanding sales of ArrayIt® brand micro spotting devices, SpotBot® personal microarrayers, microarray substrates, custom substrates, microarray services, and other products. The company’s on-line shop site (shop.arrayit.com) was established in 2001 as an ordering resource for customers on the East Coast of the United States, as well as overseas customers in Europe and Asia. The shop.arrayit.com site allows customers to purchase ArrayIt® products 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from any location that contains an Internet connection. The shop site improves customer service by tracking all orders regardless of how they come into the company. In October 2005, the ArrayIt® Division celebrated its 10,000^th order on shop.arrayit.com. The company’s shopping cart continues to be an ordering and pricing resource for ArrayIt® customers worldwide.

Company Co-Founder and Executive Vice-President Todd Martinsky shared his views on the rapid increase in on-line sales. “As the microarray industry matures and consolidates, our presence grows. This is because of the versatility of our technology. Our platform empowers the use of microarrays for any type of molecule including oligos, cDNAs, proteins, peptides, antibodies, BACs, carbohydrates, small molecules, cell extracts, and many more. No other company can match our technological versatility. We’re the most widely recognized contact printing microarray platform in the Life Sciences today and in the future we’ll be the most recognized in the Diagnostics area.”
