magnetic beads business unit, which develops ultra sensitive

agreements with two other major international beads distributors.

The Company also announced that Luxspheres would market its
magnetic beads under the name SAVAspheres™ and that
Luxspheres has launched its own website, which can be found at www.luxspheres.com.
“In light of the current stage of development of our proprietary
magnetic beads, this is an opportune time to have our beads
business operate as a separate subsidiary,” commented Dr. Yahia
Gawad, CEO of CardioGenics Holdings Inc. “Having its own corporate
structure and brand identity will assist us in marketing and
licensing SAVAspheres™ and its related technologies to
beads distributors throughout the world,” continued Dr. Gawad.
