Biobanking - growing and globalfirst target market

• Definition: Collection, processing, storing and distribution of biospecimens and associated data

• Biobanks (or biorepositories)• Bioresource, translational and life science laboratories• Pharmaceutical sample management facilities• Clinical trial and biomedical research laboratories• Commercial laboratories/biorepositories

• Biospecimens - blood, tissue, urine, saliva, cells, RNA/DNA and hair

• Currently ~2B biospecimens stored around world; growing at ~200M samples p.a.

TIME March 2009

• Growth areas• Cord Blood• Regenerative medicine/stem cell

Biobanking - immediate need/market pull

• Historical labeling and tracking techniques do NOT provide understanding of temperature and other variables that effect sample integrity

Labels(hand-written/pre-printed)

• Labels fall off• Transcription errors• Can’t sense temperature

Barcodes (linear/2D)

• Need line of sight• Significantly decreased reading

reliability in humidity and frost environments

• Can’t sense temperature

RFID • Not able to survive plastic injection molding process

• Not able to survive high temperatures of sterilization and gamma irradiation

• Not able to survive AND operate in low temperatures down to -196ºC

• Can’t sense temperature
