Dr. Laszlo Urge, CEO of ThalesNano Inc, said "We joined forces with oneof the leading research laboratories in Europe for the application of ourtechnologies. This will enable us to jointly develop novel methods andenvironmentally friendly solutions with our technology. The Christian DopplerResearch Association in Austria provides a great example on how toeffectively support basic and applied research and innovation. The ChristianDoppler Laboratory for Microwave Chemistry under the leadership of ProfessorC. Oliver Kappe has proven over the last several years how the adaptation ofnew technologies can impact the development of science and technology in thefield of chemistry. We expect that the collaboration results in furtherinnovations."

About ThalesNano Inc.

ThalesNano is a world-leading provider of flow chemistry instruments forlaboratories with well over 50% share on the explosively developing market oflaboratory flow reactors. Its H-CubeTM , continuous-flow hydrogenationreactors with no outside hydrogen gas source (also available for scale up),has been used in hundreds of labs in four continents. After being awarded asone of the 100 most technologically significant and innovative new productsof 2005 by the R&D Magazine, ThalesNano this year successfully generalizedthe concept of H-Cube by creating and bringing to the market the X-Cube, ahigh-pressure, high-temperature general purpose flow reactor for liquid orliquid/gas phase reactions. Apart from instrument development, ThalesNanoprovides synthetic and scale-up solutions to the industry, together withtraining and technical support.

Flow chemistry, an emerging technology allows the highly effective andrapid synthesis of organic compounds, in particular under hithertounrealizable hazardous reaction conditions. Additional benefits are seen inthe area of green chemistry and lab automation. This technology furthermorepromotes the rapid scale-up from mg to kg quantities with quick turnover,high quality stabilization, and reduced footprint leading to minimized CAPEXand OPEX
