AGT Wins Second R&D 100 Award.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Atmospheric Glow Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:AGWT)(AGT) has received a coveted R&D 100 Award for the PlasmaGen APR-510-S, AGT's first product in the biotechnology sector. The PlasmaGen APR-510-S is an instrument for the laboratory benchtop that releases DNA from all types of microorganisms including bacterial endospores. By providing the user a simple straightforward means to extract DNA, time-intensive multistep processes that often rely on hazardous chemicals are avoided. Suzanne South, AGT's Director of Biodevelopment, says, "The PlasmaGen APR-510-S offers time- and money-saving advantages over existing methods that make it a truly competitive addition to the marketplace."

This breakthrough product will be showcased in R&D Magazine's September 2005 issue and will be on display during the gala awards ceremony to be held October 20, 2005 at Chicago's Navy Pier. AGT is actively developing a sales and marketing campaign for the PlasmaGen APR-510-S and has placed product as far away as Japan.

"AGT is developing its patented atmospheric plasma technology for a number of products ranging from biotechnology to materials processing. This second R&D 100 Award is an affirmation of the quality product development being performed by our highly trained technical team," said Kimberly Kelly-Wintenberg, President and COO.

The R&D Award is presented by R&D Magazine for the world's 100 most technologically significant products introduced that year. AGT won its first R&D 100 Award in 2002 for its EPS Air Purification System. Past winners have also included the fax machine, the automated teller machine, Taxol, the halogen bulb, and HDTV.
