Company Will Exhibit at ISA 2006 and Launch the Sionex microAnalyzer(TM) OEM Sub-system

BEDFORD, Mass.-October 10, 2006-- Sionex Corporation, a company focused on commercializing breakthrough chemical and biological sensors and systems, today announced that it will be exhibiting its new microAnalyzer product to interested OEMs at the upcoming ISA 2006 EXPO in Houston, Texas.

Designed for incorporation into OEM end-user products, the Sionex microAnalyzer combines Sionex's breakthrough patented microDMx(TM) technology with a miniaturized gas chromatographic module. The microAnalyzer will be available to OEMs for a wide variety of applications including: process control, air monitoring, building monitoring, fenceline monitoring, environmental monitoring and other situations requiring the detection and identification of trace chemicals.

Employing Sionex's patented microDMx technology, the sub-system offers the superior sensitivity and selectivity associated with the microDMx based products together with the added benefits associated with preconcentration and separation in a complete self contained sub-system requiring no external gases. In many applications, the sub-system will be capable of detecting and identifying chemicals down to parts per trillion (ppt) levels in complex matrices.

"This sub-system is different from our previous component offerings in that the Sionex microAnalyzer represents a complete solution which includes sample collection, sample separation, detection and identification," said Anthony D. Bashall, Sionex's VP of marketing and business development. "The microAnalyzer's unique capabilities have the potential to bring about a paradigm shift in detection systems by enabling the sensing of compounds on an unparalleled scale with unprecedented sensitivity and selectivity."

Sionex has existing commercial agreements with Varian, Thermo and General Dynamics and anticipates adding additional OEM partners in the process control arena with major vendors. Sionex's strategy is to form partnerships with major companies that will incorporate Sionex's microAnalyzer into their end-user products sold into the industrial, military, homeland security, diagnostic, healthcare, food and beverage, and consumer markets.

The microAnalyzer will be exhibited at Sionex's booth (# 3019) at ISA EXPO 2006 in the Reliant Center, Houston, Texas from Monday, October 16th to the close of the expo on Thursday, October 19th, 2006.
