Exiqon A/S (NASDAQ OMX: EXQ), a leading supplier of high-value gene expression
analysis products, today announced the launch of the 3rd generation of miRCURY
LNA™ microRNA Labeling Kit called Hi-Power for labeling of microRNAs for
downstream hybridization to microRNA arrays.

The new Hi-Power microRNA labeling kits increase the signal intensity (signal-
to-noise) of the labeling up to 2 fold. This enables users of the miRCURY LNA™
microRNA Array platform to use substantial less total RNA sample (down to half
the amount) in order to obtain the same level of microRNA profiling compared to
using the previous labeling kits and yet detect more microRNAs expressed at
very low levels.

“The launch of the new labeling kits provides our customers with the most
sensitive microRNA Array platform available on the market” said Vice President
Sales & Marketing, Dr. Henrik M. Pfundheller and added: “Together with the
recent launch of the 6th generation miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Arrays having a full
coverage of miRBase 16 for human, mouse and rat, Exiqon clearly has taken the
lead in offering microRNA researchers the most valuable solution for microRNA
profiling using microarrays”.
