Micro Imaging Technology Receives a Significant Verification Report from an Independent and Internationally Recognized Testing Laboratory.

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif. -- Micro Imaging Technology ("MIT"), formerly Electropure Inc. (Pink Sheets:ELTP), announced the receipt of a report from an independent and internationally recognized biological testing laboratory. During October 2005, MIT contracted with North American Science Associates Inc. ("NAMSA") to design and perform a verification test that compares the speed, accuracy and efficiency of MIT's rapid microbe identification system with conventional processes. The comparative tests were in a double-blind experiment, meaning that the independent laboratory technicians, using the MIT System and a well-recognized alternative, were not aware of the various microbes' identification. NAMSA chose the industry-standard MIDI Sherlock Microbial Identification System ("MIDI") as the initial process to verify the accuracy of MIT's diagnostic capabilities. The MIDI system identifies bacteria and yeast based on gas chromatographic analysis of fatty acid methyl esters.

The MIT system scored 98 percent correct identifications in 50 tests, with each test consuming several minutes for sample preparation and an average three minutes for testing. The gas chromatographic system was correct 80 percent and failed to identify, with several attempts, one bacterium. NAMSA employed a conventional biological testing method which matched the bacterium with the MIT identification. The gas chromatographic system took hours per test and the biological testing method required days. David Haavig, Ph.D., MIT's chief scientist and general manager, stated that, "We are extremely pleased with all aspects of the independent test results and report."

MIT initiated "Proof-of-Principle" testing in 1998 and by the end of 1999 had developed and continues to improve a patented laser-based technology for rapid microbe detection and identification. The system measures scattered light intensity as individual microbes pass through a laser beam. The intensity pattern of the scattered light is a direct consequence of the size, shape, and external and internal optical characteristics of the microbe. By measuring the scattered light at specific angles, the system can detect and differentiate objects the size of bacteria. MIT has demonstrated the ability to detect and immediately identify the microbes Escherichia coli, Listeria, Salmonella Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella and other pathogenic bacteria.

North American Science Associates Inc. has been, for over 35 years, one of the world's leading independent laboratories specializing in the safety evaluation of medical devices. NAMSA offers testing services and products to device manufacturers, raw material suppliers, pharmaceutical companies, sterilizers and other related industries -- primarily serving the health care industry.
