Press Release Summary = As one of the industry's most sensitive, brightest, and
longest wavelength MMP assay kits, the SensoLyteT (formerly EnzoLyte) 520 line of
MMP Assay Kits is one of AnaSpec's most popular products. AnaSpec has announced a
number of new developments to expand the scope and applications of the SensoLyteT
MMP product family.

Press Release Body = Addressing a number of gaps in its breadth of product
offerings, AnaSpec has introduced two new SensoLyteT MMP Assay Kits: SensoLyteT
MMP-10 & MMP-14.

In response to customer inquiries about the application of MMP assay kits to various
species, AnaSpec tested the SensoLyteT 520 MMP-9 Assay Kit (Cat #71155) on its own
mouse recombinant protein. The successful results demonstrate that SensoLyteT 520
MMP-9 Assay Kit can be used to detect MMP 9 not only in human, but in mouse samples
as well.

Addressing the poor substrate sequence specificity of certain members of the MMP
family, SensoLyte PlusT MMP assay kits offer a solution for researchers who need to
identify the activity of a specific MMP in a complex biological sample containing
multiple MMPs. Integrating the specificity of a monoclonal antibody with the
sensitivity of a fluorescence peptide substrate, SensoLyte PlusT MMP Assay Kits
detect the presence of a specific MMP in a diverse array of mediums.
