PBI announces receipt of first purchase order for new Barozyme HT48 High-throughput System

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) ("PBI" or the "Company"), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling sample preparation solutions using pressure cycling technology ("PCT")-based instruments and consumables to the worldwide life sciences industry, today announced the receipt of the first purchase order for its new Barozyme HT48 High-throughput System. The Company also announced the receipt of a request for a quotation for the possible purchase of a second Barozyme HT48 System; the request came from an existing European customer.

In September 2014, the Company announced plans to build and ship nine Barozyme HT48 High-throughput Systems for independent evaluation. In November and December 2014, the Company announced the installation of the first three evaluation systems. The chosen sites were (i) a leading U.S. biotechnology company, (ii) Dr. Radoslav Goldman's laboratory at Georgetown University, (ii) Dr. William Funk's laboratory at the Feinberg School of Medicine (Northwestern University). The purchase order for the Barozyme HT48 System came from the leading U.S. biotechnology company. This Company already owns and routinely uses two NEP2320 Barocycler instruments.

Dr. Nathan Lawrence, VP of Marketing and Sales of PBI, said: "Our evaluation sites have done a terrific job of generating very valuable information in a relatively short period of time. Early results show: (i) the Barozyme HT48 works as well in the hands of independent scientists as it does in our own, (ii) data generated by the Barozyme HT48 are comparable to data generated by the NEP2320, when compared using the same pressure and time parameters, and (iii) data generated using the Barozyme's BaroFlex 8-well processing strips (which allow the Barozyme HT48 to process up to six strips or 48 samples simultaneously) compare well with data generated using the Company's existing NEP2320 MicroTube reaction vessel (used to process one sample at a time)."

Dr. Lawrence continued: "Based on the results generated by the evaluation sites, we were able to complete our design optimization with key modifications to both the software and hardware of the Barozyme HT48 System. We believe these improvements will make the Barozyme HT48 System even more versatile, accurate, and robust in serving our customer's needs. Consequently, we believe the Barozyme HT48 System is now ready for a focused marketing and sales effort."

Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBI said: "We plan to install three more evaluation systems in the coming weeks: one at an academic research facility in MA, one at a cancer research company in CA, and one in a well-known, non-profit research center in Sweden. We expect the three new sites, like the existing three sites, to generate, publish, and present data that we expect to provide strong support to our Barozyme HT48 sales efforts."

Mr. Schumacher concluded: "Due to the rapid success of the evaluation program, we have decided to end the program early, after six installations and not after the planned nine. This will allow the upgrade of the last three systems with improvements dictated by the evaluation data generated thus far, and to have them ready for sale in the 2015 second quarter. We are excited about this important transition point for PBI."
