NEW BRUNSWICK SCIENTIFIC CO., INC. ---------------------------------- (Registrant) Date May 27, 2005 /s/ Samuel Eichenbaum ---------------------------------- Samuel Eichenbaum Vice President, Finance EX-99.1 2 nb2854ex991.txt Exhibit 99.1 NEW BRUNSWICK SCIENTIFIC TO INTRODUCE FIVE INNOVATIVE NEW PRODUCTS AT THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MICROBIOLOGY (ASM) GENERAL MEETING EDISON, N.J., May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc. (NBS) (Nasdaq: NBSC), yesterday announced that it will be introducing five innovative new products at the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) General Meeting, which opens on June 6th in Atlanta, GA. The announcement by James Orcutt, NBS President and COO, was made during an open question and answer forum at the Company's annual shareholders' meeting. The products were identified as two new biological shakers, Innova(R) 40, a benchtop incubated and refrigerated system; and Innova 43, a larger-scale floor model. Innova shakers are the workhorses of the industry, known for precision control of operating parameters and exceptionally long life. With this latest complement to its shaker family, the Company now offers over 30 shaker models -- the largest selection offered by any manufacturer -- providing life scientists with a range of options to suit virtually any culture requirement. A new slim upright, 360 liter capacity, ultra-low temperature freezer, Innova U360, will also be introduced. This latest freezer in the Innova family utilizes vacuum-insulation panel technology in place of traditional insulating foam. Vacuum-insulation panels reduce wall thickness, thereby maintaining a small footprint while increasing interior storage capacity. With the addition of the Innova U360, the Company now offers ten freezer models, including a unique personal-sized unit for on- or under-bench use. Mr. Orcutt also announced plans to introduce a new 500 mL disposable cell culture system. FibraStage(TM), the first truly disposable product in NBS' product range, offers the simplicity of operation and convenience of disposable technology, while providing higher yields than typically achieved using traditional culture systems, such as spinners, T-flasks and roller bottles. He went on to explain that the Company's proprietary FibraCel(R) disks, which are at the heart of the FibraStage system, are currently being used to produce the world's first licensed gene therapy drug. Rounding out the new product introductions is the NucleoCounter YC-100, a device for more accurately and automatically counting yeast cells. The YC-100 serves as a counterpoint to the original NucleoCounter, which automates the tedious task of counting mammalian cells. Mr. Orcutt commented that "accelerated and targeted new product development is among several strategic initiatives upon which NBS is focused. With the introduction of these products at ASM, the results of this sustained effort are beginning to show."
