Synbiotics Corp. receives USDA approval for room temperature storage of ICT GOLD HW diagnostic; new storage saves time, money and shelf space

Business Wire, May 2, 1996

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 1996--Synbiotics Corp. (NASDAQ:SBIO) Thursday announced that it has received USDA approval for room temperature storage of its leading diagnostic test, ICT GOLD HW, for canine heartworm diagnosis.

The new approval gives Synbiotics the first heartworm diagnostic test that can be stored at room temperature without affecting the product's shelf life.

"The ability to store ICT GOLD HW test kits at room temperature means veterinarians don't have to wait the thirty or forty minutes required for refrigerated kits to warm to room temperature prior to use," said Robert Widerkehr, president and chief executive officer. "This saves time for the clinician and frees up valuable shelf space in 4 degrees Celsius storage units for other products which do require refrigeration."

ICT GOLD HW was introduced in March, 1995, at which time the company recommended 4 degrees Celsius storage for the product. Now, with the USDA approval for room temperature storage, ICT GOLD HW is the only heartworm diagnostic product on the market that can be stored at room temperature without affecting its one year shelf life.

ICT GOLD HW "room temperature" diagnostic tests are now being sold through Synbiotics distributors. For further information call Veterinary Services at 800/228-4305.

Synbiotics develops, manufactures and markets advanced animal health products under its own name in the United States and internationally through licensees.
