ARLINGTON, VA - May 24, 2006 - BioInformatics, LLC announces the launch of ValueCast, an interactive marketing service for life science sales and marketing executives that showcases products to potential buyers, generates qualified leads and provides valuable feedback from hundreds of scientists.

"Marketing and sales executives will not only gain valuable exposure to an influential audience but also receive predictive information to help ensure their product's success."

BioInformatics prepares each product's marketing material for an online presentation so that potential buyers will rank the importance of each feature presented, overall impressions of the product, likelihood of purchasing and overall message effectiveness. Special incentives also encourage scientists to request further information or schedule live demonstrations.

After clients specify ideal prospects, the service arranges for an audience of up to 400 scientists matching criteria and guarantees attendance at an online presentation highlighting the product's unique features and benefits. Prospects engage closely with the product and the value proposition, providing interactive commentary throughout the presentation.

At the conclusion of your presentation, ValueCast users receive a full analysis containing:
