Accuri Cytometers Inc. to Distribute FCS Express

Ann Arbor, MI, June 27, 2008 - De Novo Software, a leading provider of flow cytometry data analysis solutions, and Accuri Cytometers, a privately held manufacturer of innovative benchtop flow cytometry systems, announced today that they have entered into a licensing agreement providing for Accuri to distribute a customized version of De Novo Software's flagship product, FCS Express, with every Accuri C6 Flow Cytometer System. Under the terms of the agreement, Accuri will distribute a time-limited Professional Version of FCS Express that includes the CFlow Importer. The customized version will provide Accuri customers with all of the functionality of the FCS Express Pro software for four months after purchase, at which time they will have the opportunity to purchase the software for continued use.

David Novo, De Novo Software's president said: "The Accuri C6 Flow Cytometer is one of the most innovative things to happen in the flow cytometry market in a long time. The System's combination of power and simplicity at an affordable price should help make C6 a formidable competitor and bring flow cytometry to many new users. Having Accuri distribute our software will expose FCS Express to a wide customer base. The seamless integration between the Accuri CFlow software and FCS Express, via the CFlow Importer, will be of great benefit to C6 users and we anticipate that many will wish to purchase the Professional version of the software after the initial trial period has expired."

"Offering FCS Express with the C6 Flow Cytometer provides Accuri's customers with a comprehensive analysis package that is seamlessly integrated with Accuri CFlow Software." said Jack Ball, Accuri's Chief Commercial Officer. "FCS Express will also enable our customers to analyze data from their Accuri CFlow software and from other flow cytometer platforms in one program, a useful convenience."

FCS Express has been adapted to read the individual data files inside the custom CFlow data files from the C6 Flow Cytometer as if they were individual FCS files, making file manipulation easy for C6 users. Since FCS Express works in a similar manner to commonly used software packages, such as the MS Office suite, it is consistent with Accuri's philosophy of providing simple, yet sophisticated, turnkey software solutions for its customers.
