University of Maryland Grants Link Plus Exclusive Worldwide License to MIPs Technology for Viral Threat Detection

COLUMBIA, MD, Jan 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
Link Plus Corporation announced today that the University of Maryland has
granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide license for Molecularly Imprinted
Polymers (MIPs) developed for the binding, separation, and subsequent
detection, of viruses and bacteria. Link Plus will focus on commercializing
products that help detect and identify viral threats to homeland security.
This Agreement, along with an existing exclusive license with The Johns
Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) for MIPs technology used
to detect chemical and explosive threats, makes Link Plus the most comprehensive
source of MIPs-related threat detection solutions available today. Link Plus
nowdevelops MIPs detection solutions for explosives, chemical agents, toxins,
poisons, and pesticides and, with this license, biological agents as well.

"The University of Maryland has pioneered the use of MIPs technology for
biological agents, and we are very happy to work with the University to
commercialize this cutting-edge technology," said Dr. Jon Gluckman, President
and
CEO of Link Plus. "Coupled with our ongoing work with The Johns Hopkins
University, this Licensing Agreement provides Link Plus Corporation with the
opportunity to lead the way in the application of MIPs technology to homeland
security threats."

Link Plus Corporation was granted this license as part of the University's
aggressive
tech transfer effort, which moves breakthrough technological developments out of
the
University environment and into the private sector for commercial development,
particularly by companies located in the State of Maryland.

Scientists at the University have already been successful in detecting
viruses
using MIPs technology and future research will expand on the breadth of
viruses which can be detected, including significant pathogenic viral threats to
homeland security such as smallpox and ebola. The technology can also be
applied to bacterial threats such as anthrax, plague, botulism and myriad
antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including MRSA.

Customizing Molecules

Molecular imprinting is a technique used to prepare synthetic polymers
withrecognition sites that are specific to a target molecule. In the same way
that a key must "match" a lock in order to work, the shapes, sizes and
functions of these artificially generated recognition sites are matched to
the target molecule and capable of rebinding them with a preference for other
closely related structures.

Similar imprints are made by our immune systems; however, MIPs are more
robust, stable and resistant to a wide range of humidity, temperature and
acidity and alkalinity factors than their biological counterparts. Additionally,
the
newest MIPs are inexpensive and safe to produce and can be sprayed, printed
or spin-coated onto commercial devices for the detection of a wide range of
substances, compounds and biological agents.

Homeland Security and International Applications

Link Plus integrates the MIPs technology with its Advanced Wireless
Communications
System allowing the Company to produce custom solutions for its clients which
both detect threats and provide a comprehensive monitoring and notification
infrastructure for alerting and responding to threats. Link Plus is
establishing a base of domestic and overseas outlets for this technology.
