Press Release Summary: Apticraft Systems today announced the successful completion
and handover of the PrimerPlex project to PREMIER Biosoft International, USA.
PrimerPlex is a software for designing oligos for Luminex\'s xMAP® technology based
nucleic acid identification. The software automates the custom oligo design work for
high throughput studies.


Press Release Body: Indore, India - June 15, 2008 - Apticraft Systems, a rapidly
growing bioinformatics company, today announced the successful completion of the
PrimerPlex project awarded to it by PREMIER Biosoft International, USA. Apticraft
told the press that the project has been completed in a record one year time.

"This was the first of its kind project that we have handled. The xMAP® technology
is certainly changing the way flow cytometry research is done. The xMAP® technology
combines the prowess of flow cytometry with the accuracy of microsphere based
detection," said Shonali Paul, Director, Apticraft Systems.

Research labs studying single nucleotide polymorphisms, can now accomplish complex
assay design in minutes.

The software interface design presented a particular challenge for simultaneously
addressing two different assays. It also involved advanced computations to screen
the results for cross reactivity. Apticraft was able to solve this through extensive
research including the study of technology articles, communication with topical
experts and rigorous testing. "We knew it would be tough, 100 assays simultaneously
usually are. Our scientists were in touch with technology experts. The program went
through several rounds of optimization to output the best oligos," commented Shonali
Paul.

\"PrimerPlex was designed targeting the SNP genotyping market. Apticraft Systems did
an admirable job in creating user-friendly interface capable of handling two assays
simultaneously and designing a complex algorithm. We will certainly keep Apticraft
in mind for future projects." commented Kay Brown, President, PREMIER Biosoft
International
