Date:5/14/2009

- Company receives clearance to add voriconazole to its YeastOne(R) susceptibility plate for in vitro diagnostics; plate now includes four FDA-cleared antifungal agents

- New Research-Use-Only Sensititre(R) Xtra Gram Negative MIC Plate incorporates 21 antimicrobics, including colistin and polymixin B

TREK's YeastOne susceptibility plate for in vitro diagnostics and research-use-only Sensititre Xtra Gram Negative MIC plate both build on the company's leading platform of Sensititre susceptibility products, which are used widely by physicians and researchers as they work to address the serious and growing problem of drug-resistant infections, and by pharmaceutical companies in their new drug development.

The latter is the target of our new YeastOne dried microbroth dilution plate (Part No. YO-2V), which increases reportable compounds and treatment options for clinicians."
