MFIC Corporation Announces Shipment of a Highly Advanced (State of the Art) Microfluidizer(R) Processor Production System.NEWTON, Mass. -- MFIC MFIC Malaysian Furniture Industry Council MFIC Microfluidics International Corp. MFIC Military Flight Information Center MFIC Missionary Franciscan of the Immaculate Conception (religious order) Corporation (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). : MFIC) announced today that in the third quarter of 2005 it completed shipment of an M-7250-20 production level Microfluidizer system with the most advanced functionality, controls and features incorporated to date in any system delivered by the Company. The system, priced at several hundred thousand dollars, was purchased by the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology ("KITECH KITECH Korea Institute of Industrial Technology "). KITECH is one of the most innovative and prestigious industrial research institutes in Asia. KITECH states that as part of its mission it "not only focuses on strengthening the competitiveness of conventional technology but also on developing the next generation's strategic technology along with practical know-how." KITECH has a strong focus on biotechnology development and operates a Bio Industrial Technology Commercialization Center. This high end Microfluidizer(R) processor system is in compliance with the FDA's current good manufacturing practice Good Manufacturing Practice or GMP (also referred to as 'cGMP' or 'current Good Manufacturing Practice') is a term that is recognized worldwide for the control and management of manufacturing and quality control testing of foods and pharmaceutical products. with automation (cGAMP) and includes features such as clean in place (CIP (1) (Common Isochronous Packet) The packet format used in time-based (real time) FireWire transmission. See FireWire, IEC 61883 and mLAN. (2) (Common Industrial P ), steam in place (SIP) for sterilization sterilization Any surgical procedure intended to end fertility permanently (see contraception). Such operations remove or interrupt the anatomical pathways through which the cells involved in fertilization travel (see reproductive system). , extensive real-time operating and monitoring controls and data acquisition and storage capabilities. All controls and data are accessible through a stand-alone touch screen panel controller and interface (see attached pictures). MFIC acted as the integrator of the real-time process displays, program logic control (PLC) and instrumentation, data acquisition and automation systems (SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) A process control application that collects data from sensors and machines on the shop floor or in remote locations and sends them to a central computer for management and control. ), and other components in the system. Robert P. Bruno, President & COO, stated "We believe that within KITECH there are and will continue to be significant scaleup opportunities for biotech processes using our Microfluidizer processor equipment. Further, both the knowledge and skills acquired in design and construction of this advanced system has allowed us to secure other equipment orders and to quote on other prospective sales of our systems." Irwin Gruverman, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of MFIC Corporation stated, "The KITECH system will serve as a display of our capability to adapt our basic equipment design and function to the high level needs of a biopharma development plant. We were pleased to have the opportunity to meet the challenges imposed by KITECH's leading edge specifications and to place our system in such a high visibility location. KITECH's role as a contract research organization (CRO) should expose our equipment to many of the companies who work with KITECH and may need our equipment to scale up products and processes developed on the KITECH system. In designing, building and testing this first of a kind system we incurred significant additional development costs and expenses that impacted profit on the sale of the system. We believe that the demonstrational and developmental use of the KITECH system will provide significant future benefits to the Company."
