RayBiotech and Gentel Partner to Offer Comprehensive Selection of Arrays on

APiX Chromogenic Detection Platform

RayBiotech, Inc., a pioneer and leader in protein and antibody array technologies, and Gentel
Biosciences, a leader in proteomics profiling tools, jointly announced today their partnership to
develop and market RayBiotech's vast collection of easy-to-use antibody array products for use with
Gentel's APiX™ chromogenic detection platform, a cost-effective alternative to laser fluoresecence
scanners.

Norcross, GA, October 05, 2010 --(PR.com)-- RayBiotech, Inc., a pioneer and leader in protein and
antibody array technologies, and Gentel Biosciences, a leader in proteomics profiling tools, jointly
announce today their partnership to develop and market RayBiotech's vast collection of antibody array
products covering a wide variety of cytokines and other proteins for use with Gentel's APiX™
chromogenic detection platform.

The new kits combine Gentel's APiX™ chromogenic detection technology and RayBiotech, Inc.'s
collection of more than 55 antibody and protein arrays on a glass-slide format. Each kit is configured for
use with the Gentel Proteomics Multi-System™ and Gentel's AthenaQuant® analysis software for an
easy-to-use and cost-effective alternative to fluorescent-based detection. APiX chromogenic technology
allows for the detection of any biotinylated molecule, generating light grey-to-black spots that are visible
to the naked eye and can be scanned with the Gentel Proteomics Multi-System. The all-inclusive,
"sample-into-data" workflow empowers both experts and novices with the necessary tools to conduct an
experiment and obtain meaningful proteomics data in a single day.

"Raybiotech offers the most comprehensive selection of antibody and protein arrays on the market," says
said Alex Vodenlich, Gentel's President and CEO. "Their collection of high-density, mid-density, and
quantitative antibody arrays works seamlessly with their available ELISAs and antibody pairs to form a
complete biomarker and proteomics workflow from hypothesis generation to validation. Integration with
the Gentel Proteomics System and with Gentel's available arrays puts this complete proteomics workflow
into a single box."

RayBiotech's glass-based array product line includes arrays targeting up to 500 proteins. These arrays
have been featured in hundreds of publications, including research published in Nature (2008; 455;
391-395, Human PDGF-AA), Nature Medicine (2007; 13: 742-747, Mouse G-CSF), Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences USA (2007; 104: 7438-7443, Mouse CXCL16, SDF-1), FASEB Journal
(2009; 23: 351-361, Mouse SDF-1, SCF), and the Journal of Biological Chemistry (2007; 282:
34510-34524). The high quality arrays produced by RayBiotech, enable investigators in their biomedical
research, biomarker and drug discovery and development.

Dr. Ray (Ruo-Pan) Huang, founder and President of RayBiotech, Inc. recognized the potential of the
Gentel reagents and system for use with RayBiotech's Quantibody®, G-Series, and L-Series arrays. "Our
customers are looking for a simple, sensitive, and affordable detection method for use with our array
products. The Gentel Proteomics Multi-System and APiX detection meets this need," stated Dr. Huang.
