BioCube, Inc. (OTCQB: BICB) (PINKSHEETS: BICB), a "Life Sciences" company that specializes in advancing the use of electro-chemical activation (ECA) technology in today's commercial markets, announced today that it has extended its agreement with Battelle Memorial Institute (Battelle), the operator of U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

The initial agreement signed on January 20, 2010 provided BioCube with nonexclusive domestic rights and exclusive rights in Canada, China, Mexico and Europe to develop and market the microaerosol-based technology developed by Battelle at PNNL and products that result therefrom as well as access to Battelle's test data compiled over the last 4 years that demonstrates the efficacy of licensed technology. The executed Amendment #1 summarizes specific patent filings in regions of interest to BioCube, as well as incorporates intellectual property rights to the "Vortex Aerosol Generator" (VAG) developed by the project research partner, Institute of Highly Pure Elements in St. Petersburg, Russia.

As previously announced by BioCube, Inc., it intends to further collaborate with PNNL and its Russian research partners to complete the development of VAG that will be used in an environmentally safe decontamination system modeled after research conducted at PNNL. The system developed at PNNL has demonstrated effective handling of microbial and fungal cells, spores, and viruses that are the core of such infections as MRSA infection, Avian Flu, Swine Flu and common molds.

There are a variety of methods allowing for decontamination of pathogens. However, the majority of these methods have serious limitations because they are either toxic, or have significant negative effects on sensitive equipment and interior materials. BioCube's system will be environmentally safe, with a minimal effect on humans and animals, using solutions that are biodegradable, non-toxic and economically efficient.

BioCube believes that this decontamination technology holds significant promise as a long-term solution to a growing problem of dealing with pathogen compromised facilities and will initially focus on applications in the healthcare and transportation markets.

In addition to microaerosol applications, BioCube is exploring other numerous uses for its aqueous solutions, which has conclusively demonstrated its superior properties in wound care and sterilization applications.
