Letter of Transmittal

Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal to an address other than as set forth above does not constitute a valid delivery. You must sign this Letter of Transmittal in the appropriate space provided below, with signature guaranteed if required, and complete the Substitute Form W-9. The instructions set forth in this Letter of Transmittal should be read carefully before this Letter of Transmittal is completed.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be used by stockholders of Biosite Incorporated (“Biosite”) either if certificates for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Biosite, including the associated preferred stock purchase rights (collectively the “Shares” and each a “Share”) are to be forwarded herewith or, unless an Agent’s Message (as defined in Instruction 2 below) is utilized, if delivery of Shares is to be made by book-entry transfer to an account maintained by the Depositary at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility (as defined below).

Stockholders whose certificates for Shares are not immediately available or who cannot deliver either the certificates for, or a Book-Entry Confirmation (as defined in Section 3—“Procedure for Tendering Shares” of the Offer to Purchase) with respect to their Shares, and all other documents required hereby to the Depositary prior to the Expiration Time (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) may tender their Shares in accordance with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3—“Procedure for Tendering Shares” of the Offer to Purchase. See Instruction 2 below.

Delivery of documents to the Book-Entry Transfer Facility does not constitute delivery to the Depositary.

The undersigned hereby tenders to Louisiana Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Beckman Coulter, Inc. (“Beckman”), the above described Shares upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Purchaser’s Offer to Purchase, dated April 2, 2007 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and this Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto or hereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (and if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms of any such extension or amendment), and effective upon acceptance for payment of, and payment for, the Shares tendered herewith in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Purchaser, all right, title and interest in the Shares or securities or rights issued in respect of the Shares on or after the date of the Offer to Purchase and irrevocably constitutes and appoints American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Depositary”), the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to the full extent of the undersigned’s rights with respect to such Shares (and any such other Shares or other securities or rights), to (a) deliver certificates for such Shares (and any such other Shares or securities or rights) or transfer ownership of such Shares (and any such other Shares or securities or rights) on the account books maintained by the depositary trust company (the “Book-Entry Transfer Facility”) together, in any such case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the Purchaser, (b) present such Shares (and any such other Shares or securities or rights) for transfer on Biosite’s books and (c) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Shares (and any such other Shares or securities or rights), all in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the appointment of the Depositary as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned is subject to the rights of the undersigned as set forth in any agreement existing between the undersigned and Beckman.

The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the tendered Shares (and any and all other Shares or other securities or rights issued or issuable in respect of such Shares on or after the date of the Offer to Purchase) and, when the same are accepted for payment by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will acquire good title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, claims and encumbrances and the same will not be subject to any adverse claim or right. The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed necessary or desirable by the Depositary or the Purchaser to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the tendered Shares (and any such other Shares or other securities or rights) to the Purchaser.

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender of Shares hereby is irrevocable.

The undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints the designees of the Purchaser, and each of them, and any other designees of the Purchaser, the attorneys-in-fact and proxies of the undersigned, each with full power of substitution, to vote at any annual, special, adjourned or postponed meeting of Biosite’s stockholders or otherwise in such manner, to execute any written consent concerning any matter, and to otherwise act as each such attorney-in-fact and proxy (or his, her or its substitute) shall, in his, her or its sole discretion, deem proper with respect to the Shares tendered hereby that have been accepted for payment by the Purchaser prior to the time any such action is taken and with respect to which the undersigned is entitled to vote (and any and all other

Shares or other securities or rights issued or issuable in respect of such Shares on or after the date of the Offer to Purchase). This appointment is effective when, and only to the extent that, the Purchaser accepts for payment such Shares as provided in the Offer to Purchase. This power of attorney and proxy are irrevocable and are granted in consideration of the acceptance for payment of such Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Upon such acceptance for payment, all prior powers of attorney, proxies and consents given by the undersigned with respect to such Shares (and any such other Shares or securities or rights) will, without further action, be revoked and no subsequent powers of attorney, proxies, consents or revocations may be given (and, if given, will not be deemed effective) by the undersigned with respect to such Shares. Purchaser reserves the right to require that, in order for the Shares or other securities to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon acceptance for payment of such Shares, Purchaser must be able to exercise full voting, consent and other rights with respect to such Shares (and any such other Shares or securities or rights), including voting at any meeting of Biosite’s stockholders.

The undersigned understands that the valid tender of Shares pursuant to any of the procedures described in Section 3—“Procedure for Tendering Shares” in the Offer to Purchase and in the Instructions to this Letter of Transmittal will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (and if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment). Without limiting the foregoing, if the price to be paid in the Offer is increased in accordance with the Merger Agreement (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), the price to be paid to the undersigned will be the amended price notwithstanding the fact that a different price is stated in this Letter of Transmittal. The undersigned recognizes that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the Purchaser may not be required to accept for payment any of the Shares tendered hereby. All questions as to validity, form and eligibility of any tender of Shares hereby will be determined by the Purchaser (which may delegate its power in whole or in part to the Depositary) and such determination shall be final and binding.

Unless otherwise indicated herein under “Special Payment Instructions,” please issue the check for the purchase price and/or return any certificates for Shares not tendered or accepted for payment in the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appearing under “Description of Shares Tendered.” Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under “Special Delivery Instructions,” please mail the check for the purchase price and/or return any certificates for Shares not tendered or accepted for payment (and any accompanying documents, as appropriate) to the address(es) of the registered holder(s) appearing under “Description of Shares Tendered.” In the event that both the “Special Delivery Instructions” and the “Special Payment Instructions” are completed, please issue the check for the purchase price and/or return any certificates for Shares not tendered or accepted for payment (and any accompanying documents, as appropriate) in the name(s) of, and deliver such check and/or return such certificates (and any accompanying documents, as appropriate) to, the person(s) so indicated. Please credit any Shares tendered herewith by book-entry transfer that are not accepted for payment by crediting the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility designated above. The undersigned recognizes that the Purchaser has no obligation pursuant to the “Special Payment Instructions” to transfer any Shares from the name of the registered holder thereof if the Purchaser does not accept for payment any of the Shares so tendered.

1. Guarantee of Signatures. No signature guarantee is required on this Letter of Transmittal if (a) this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) (which term, for purposes of this Instruction, includes any participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s system whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Shares) of Shares tendered herewith and such registered holder has not completed either the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Payment Instructions” on this Letter of Transmittal or (b) the Shares tendered herewith are tendered for the account of a financial institution (including most commercial banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses) that is a participant in the Security Transfer Agent Medallion Program, or other “eligible guarantor institution,” as such term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such institution, an “Eligible Institution”). In all other cases, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 5. If a Share certificate is registered in the name of a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal, or if payment is to be made, or a Share certificate not tendered or not accepted for payment is to be returned, to a person other than the registered holder of the certificates surrendered, then the tendered Share certificate must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holders or owners appear on the Share certificate, with the signature(s) on the certificates or stock powers guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 5.

2. Requirements of Tender. This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by stockholders either if certificates are to be tendered herewith or, unless an Agent’s Message is utilized, if delivery of Shares is to be made pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described in Section 3—“Procedure for Tendering Shares” of the Offer to Purchase. For a stockholder validly to tender Shares pursuant to the Offer, either (a) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or a copy thereof), together with any required signature guarantees or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message (as defined below), and any other required documents, must be received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the cover page hereof prior to the Expiration Time (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) and either certificates for the tendered Shares must be received by the Depositary at one of such addresses or the Shares must be delivered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth in Section 3—“Procedure for Tendering Shares” of the Offer to Purchase (and a Book-Entry Confirmation (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) must be received by the Depositary), in each case, prior to the Expiration Time, or (b) the tendering stockholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below and in Section 3—“Procedure for Tendering Shares” of the Offer to Purchase.

Stockholders whose certificates for Shares are not immediately available or who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary or complete the procedures for book-entry transfer prior to the Expiration Time may tender their Shares by properly completing and duly executing the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3—“Procedure for Tendering Shares” of the Offer to Purchase. Pursuant to such procedures, (a) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution, (b) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by the Purchaser, must be received by the Depositary prior to the Expiration Time and (c) either (i) the Share certificates together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed copy thereof), with any required signature guarantees, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal must be received by the Depositary within three trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery or (ii) in the case of a book-entry transfer effected pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures described in the Offer to Purchase, either a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed copy thereof), and any required signature guarantees, or an Agent’s Message, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Depositary, such Shares must be delivered pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures and a Book-Entry Confirmation must be received by the Depositary, in each case within three trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. A “trading day” is any day on which the Nasdaq Global Select Market is open for business.

The term an “Agent’s Message” means a message, transmitted through electronic means by a Book-Entry Transfer Facility, in accordance with the normal procedures of the Book-Entry Transfer Facility and the Depositary, to and received by the Depositary and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that the Book-Entry Transfer Facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility tendering the Shares which are the subject of such Book-Entry Confirmation that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Letter of Transmittal and that the Purchaser may enforce such agreement against the participant. The term “Agent’s Message” also includes any hard copy printout evidencing such message generated by a computer terminal maintained at the Depositary’s office. For Shares to be validly tendered during any Subsequent Offering Period (as defined in the “Introduction” of the Offer to Purchase), the tendering stockholder must comply with the foregoing procedures except that the required documents and certificates must be received during the Subsequent Offering Period. Delivery of documents to the Book-Entry Transfer Facility in accordance with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s procedures does not constitute delivery to the Depositary.

The method of delivery of Shares, this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents, including delivery through the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, is at the election and risk of the tendering stockholder. Delivery of documents to the Book-Entry Transfer Facility in accordance with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s procedures does not constitute delivery to the Depositary. Shares will be deemed delivered only when actually received by the Depositary. If delivery is by mail, registered mail, with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.

No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted and no fractional Shares will be purchased. All tendering stockholders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or copy), waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their Shares for payment.

3. Inadequate Space. If the space provided herein is inadequate, the certificate numbers and/or the number of Shares should be listed on a separate schedule attached hereto and separately signed on each page in the same manner as this Letter of Transmittal.

4. Partial Tenders (Applicable to Holders of Physical Certificates Only). If fewer than all the Shares evidenced by any certificate submitted are to be tendered, fill in the number of Shares that are to be tendered in the box entitled “Number of Shares Tendered.” In this case, new certificate(s) for the remainder of the Shares that were evidenced by the old certificate(s) will be sent to the registered holder, unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable after the acceptance for payment of, and payment for, the Shares tendered herewith. All Shares represented by certificates delivered to the Depositary will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.

5. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal, Stock Powers and Endorsements. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered herewith, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) without any change whatsoever.

If any of the Shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

If any tendered Shares are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of Certificates.

If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificates or stock powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of their authority so to act must be submitted.

When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the Shares listed and transmitted hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate stock powers are required unless payment is to be made to or certificates for Shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be issued to a person other than the registered owner(s). Signatures on such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

If the certificates for Shares are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal, or if payment is to be made or certificates for Shares not tendered or not accepted for payment are to be returned to a person other than the registered holder of the certificates surrendered, the tendered certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) or owner(s) appear(s) on the certificates, with the signature(s) on the certificate(s) or stock power(s) guaranteed as aforesaid. See Instruction 1.

6. Stock Transfer Taxes. The Purchaser will pay any stock transfer taxes with respect to the transfer and sale of Shares to it or its order pursuant to the Offer. If, however, payment of the purchase price is to be made to, or if certificate(s) for Shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be registered in the name of, any person(s) other than the registered owner(s), or if tendered certificate(s) are registered in the name of any person(s) other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered owner(s) or the other person(s)) payable on account of the transfer will be deducted from the purchase price, unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is submitted.

Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the certificates listed in this Letter of Transmittal.

7. Special Payment and Delivery Instructions. If a check is to be issued in the name of, and/or certificates for Shares not accepted for payment are to be returned to, a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal or if a check is to be sent and/or such certificates are to be returned to a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal or to an address other than that shown above, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed.

8. Waiver of Conditions. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Purchaser reserves the absolute right in its sole discretion to waive any of the specified conditions of the Offer in the case of any Shares tendered.

9. Backup Withholding. In order to avoid backup withholding of United States federal income tax on payments of cash pursuant to the Offer, a U.S. stockholder tendering Shares in the Offer must, unless an exemption applies, provide the Depositary with such stockholder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), certify under penalties of perjury that such TIN is correct, and provide certain other certifications by completing the Substitute Form W-9 included in this Letter of Transmittal. If a stockholder does not provide such stockholder’s correct TIN or fails to provide the required certifications, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) may impose a penalty of $50 on such stockholder and payment of cash to such stockholder pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding of 28%. All stockholders tendering Shares pursuant to the Offer should complete and sign the main signature form and the Substitute Form W-9 to provide the information and certification necessary to avoid backup withholding (unless an applicable exemption exists and is proved in a manner satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Depositary).

Certain stockholders (including, among others, corporations, individual retirement accounts and certain foreign individuals and entities) are not subject to backup withholding but may be required to provide evidence of their exemption from backup withholding. Exempt U.S. stockholders should indicate their exempt status on the Substitute Form W-9. See the enclosed “Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9” for more instructions. In order for a foreign person to qualify as exempt, such person must submit a properly completed applicable Form W-8, Certificate of Foreign Status (instead of a Substitute Form W-9), signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to such stockholder’s foreign status. Such applicable Form W-8 may be obtained from the Depositary. Stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine whether they are exempt from these backup withholding and reporting requirements.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of the backup withholding can be credited against the U.S. federal income tax liability of the person subject to the backup withholding, provided that the required information is given to the IRS. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund can be obtained by the stockholder upon filing a U.S. federal income tax return.

A tendering stockholder is required to give the Depositary the TIN (i.e., social security number or employer identification number) of the record holder of the Shares. If the Shares are held in more than one name or are not registered in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed “Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9” for additional guidance on which number to report. In addition, consult the “Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9” for instructions on applying for a TIN if you do not have a TIN.

10. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to D.F. King & Co., Inc., the Information Agent, or Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, the Dealer Manager, at their respective addresses listed below. Additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, this Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and the Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 may be obtained from the Information Agent or from brokers, dealers, banks, trust companies or other nominees.

11. Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificates. If any certificate representing Shares has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the stockholder should promptly notify the Depositary by checking the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal and indicating the number of Shares so lost, destroyed or stolen. The stockholder will then be instructed by the Transfer Agent as to the steps that must be taken in order to replace the certificate. This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost or destroyed certificates have been followed.

IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, PROPERLY COMPLETED AND DULY EXECUTED, TOGETHER WITH ANY SIGNATURE GUARANTEES, OR, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, AN AGENT’S MESSAGE, AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION TIME AND EITHER CERTIFICATES FOR TENDERED SHARES MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY OR SHARES MUST BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THE PROCEDURES FOR BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, IN EACH CASE PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION TIME, OR THE TENDERING STOCKHOLDER MUST COMPLY WITH THE PROCEDURES FOR GUARANTEED DELIVERY DESCRIBED IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE.
