Date:9/20/2007

TORONTO, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Spectral Diagnostics Inc. (TSX:SDI) today announced the market launch of its EAA(TM) Endotoxin Activity Assay, a rapid diagnostic product for sepsis, in Germany through A. Menarini Diagnostics Deutschland ("Menarini"), a division of the Italian Menarini Group. Sepsis is the third most common cause of death in Germany with 60,000 victims each year. The treatment of severe sepsis consumes about one third of intensive care units' budgets in Germany ((euro) 1.7 billion per year), emphasizing the need for early detection of sepsis.

"The German launch represents a significant milestone in the commercialization of our EAA(TM) rapid sepsis diagnostic and follows several months of extensive research by our partner Menarini," stated Dr. Paul Walker, President & CEO of Spectral. "Germany is the largest healthcare market in the EU and we are quite confident that with Menarini's broad and experienced sales presence we are well positioned to make a successful entry into this market and set the stage for expansion into the rest of Europe in 2008."

Menarini Diagnostics was founded in 1976 as a division of A. Menarini Industrie Farmaceutiche Riunite of Florence, Italy, a multinational healthcare company with annual revenues of more than 2.2 billion Euros, with eleven wholly owned subsidiaries in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom and Sweden. Menarini Diagnostics had 2005 consolidated revenues of approximately 256 million Euros and currently employs approximately 700 people, 75% of whom are dedicated to marketing, sales, after-sales service and customer care activities.

Spectral is a developer of innovative technologies for comprehensive disease management. Spectral technologies provide accurate and timely information to clinicians enabling the early initiation of appropriate and targeted therapy. Current products include Spectral's FDA approved rapid di
