GenVault Corporation Launches its Latest Centralized and Standardized Software
Solution for Biobanking and Biological Sample Management, GenConnect 3.2

NEW YORK, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- GenVault, a leading provider of
room-temperature biosample transport, storage and management technologies,
announced the release today of GenConnect 3.2, the newest version of its
software for complete biosample management. Highlights of the release include
a strategic licensing model that enables GenConnect to be integrated
seamlessly into third-party informatics offerings, as well as a new customer
licensing model that enables scalable enterprise-wide deployment that can be
centrally administered.

GenConnect 3.2 supports the tracking of individual samples -- with either
GenVault's own GenTegra(TM) tubes for purified DNA stored at room temperature,
or generic tubes and vials stored in the frozen state - throughout the
storage, retrieval and transport lifecycle. All data associated with storage
locations and samples can be batch-uploaded to the database with a single
click, making GenConnect an ideal solution for enterprise sites that need to
process thousands of sample aliquots per day.

"With its rich JAVA-based API, language-independent Web Services interface,
and standardized flat-file import/export capabilities, GenConnect can be
seamlessly integrated with any upstream or downstream informatics packages and
databases. The latest example of this is the integration of GenConnect 3.2 to
GenoLogics' Biomedical Informatics product suite, as a part of our continuing
partnership with GenoLogics to enable turnkey solutions for clinical and
discovery research," said Dr. Dipesh Risal, Senior Product Manager for
Software at GenVault. "GenConnect's client-server architecture allows for
enterprise-level multi-site deployments, enabling both inter- and
intra-institution connectivity; further, strict and tiered access controls
built into the software means that entire networks of end-users can be
administered from a centralized location. With this release, we are also
rolling out a simple yet scalable licensing model that enables our customers
to start small, with the option to scale-up and add more users as they derive
greater value from the software."

GenConnect can accommodate the full spectrum of storage units used in
biobanking, from traditional containers such as freezers and liquid nitrogen
tanks, to the space saving, energy-efficient room-temperature storage options
provided by GenVault. Stringent QA controls are built into the software for
all Project, Subject and Sample-level data entry.
