ThalesNano Announces the Launch of H-Cube Midi(TM), its Next Generation Hydrogenation Technology Product Applicable for Process Development

BUDAPEST, Hungary, PRINCETON, NJ and LONDON, UK | Posted on October 8th, 2007

The H-Cube Midi(TM) is designed to fulfill the requirements of process
scale flow hydrogenation. Based upon the current H-Cube(R) technology
platform, the H-Cube Midi(TM) is designed to increase the capacity of the
present H-Cube(R) up to kg quantities per day without compromising efficiency
and safety.

Dr. Laszlo Urge, CEO of ThalesNano commented: "H-Cube Midi(TM) was
designed in response to increasing customer needs to be able to scale up
reactions optimized on H-Cube(R). Several pharmaceutical companies have
adopted H-Cube(R) as the first choice for hydrogenation in discovery. As
compounds move from discovery to development, there is a need to increase the
scale up to kg levels as fast as possible. The H-Cube Midi(TM) allows the
optimization and transition from mg scale to kg levels to be performed within
a day. The increase in productivity and the savings in cost and time are
expected to be significant for those R&D organizations who have adopted this
technology."

"The launch of this new product underlines that we are executing a
complex strategy and building a product portfolio in the flow chemistry area.
Our product development strategy is designed to provide integrated continuous
flow solutions from discovery to full scale production and could help solve
some of the bottlenecks in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries," stated
Dr. Ferenc Darvas, President and Chairman at ThalesNano.
