QuantomiX Signs Distribution Agreements with Major North American Distributors

May 18, 2005, Rehovot, Israel - QuantomiX Ltd., producer of a unique line of capsules which enable imaging of wet samples with scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), has signed exclusive distribution agreements with EMS and Soquelec, two major distributors of microscopy equipment in North America. Both QuantomiX and the two distributors expect the QuantomiX products to meet important needs in the microscopy markets - and predict exciting developments in the coming months.

The QX capsules based on QuantomiX proprietary WETSEM^TM technology, permit the user to view samples in a SEM without the need to freeze or dehydrate the samples. Viewing samples in their original state is a time- and cost-saver, as well as being a breakthrough in imaging capabilities for the biological science, pharmaceutical, and health care industries.

EMS - Electron Microscopy Sciences - distributes a comprehensive range of products for electron microscopy and light microscopy, along with histology supplies, chemicals, and equipment. Based on the east coast, the company benefits from a quarter century of experience in distributing microscopy supplies and a history of focus on quality products and excellent customer service. EMS executives are looking forward to the opportunities that QuantomiX products present in their region - the entire United States.

Soquelec, based in Montreal, is the Canadian exclusive representative of various scientific equipment manufacturers, distributing a wide range of products for the Material and Biological Science research community, including electron microscopy supplies. Its emphasis on state-of-the-art equipment and its long history of experience in the field bode well for the future distribution of QuantomiX products in Canada

Ory Zik, the CEO of QuantomiX, looks forward to increasing sales in North America. "We are confident that our products will not only fill a major niche in the electron microscopy disposables market, but also expand that market significantly over the coming years."
