Date:1/22/2008

BENICIA, Calif., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- AcroMetrix, a global leader in quality control materials for molecular and serological diagnostics, announced today that it will extend its contract with Group Services for America's Blood Centers (GSABC) through December 31st of 2009. Following the previous agreement from 2005, GSABC will continue to recommend and promote AcroMetrix as a recommended provider of quality control materials for GSABC's 77 members across the US and Canada.

"Because of the important nature of the infectious disease testing conducted by members of America's Blood Centers (ABC), all tests must be carefully monitored to ensure accurate performance," said GSABC Director of Contracting Susan Claffey. "The innovative quality control products provided by AcroMetrix serve this critical need and assure the accuracy and reliability of blood screening."

AcroMetrix currently provides many GSABC members with quality control products for molecular testing of HIV, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B and West Nile Virus, as well as serology controls for all commonly screened analytes, including Chagas. These products provide a means by which to estimate accuracy and detect systematic errors in qualitative assays.

"We are excited to continue our valuable partnership with GSABC," said Michael J. Eck, President and CEO for AcroMetrix. "We consider this renewed agreement to be a testament to the quality of our products and the superior customer service AcroMetrix provides."

The contract includes all products for infectious disease testing performed at member community blood centers of GSABC, including EDCNet, AcroMetrix's online data management system. AcroMetrix will be working with all GSABC member labs to help subsidize their transition to AcroMetrix products.
