New Netbook with Agion Antimicrobial Protected Keyboard Keeps it Clean in the Classroom

WAKEFIELD, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Agion Technologies, the worldwide leader in naturally-occurring silver-based
antimicrobial solutions, today announced it has partnered with Dell to offer the
world`s first netbook computer with Agion antimicrobial protected keyboards, a
high-touch area that is susceptible to microbial growth. The Dell Latitude 2100
is influenced by the needs of K-12 students with "student rugged" design to give
students access to the world of knowledge beyond the classroom.

Awareness of microbes that cause odors and stains in classroom settings and
other high-share environments is on the rise, particularly with regards to the
surfaces of school and office products. The surfaces of these products are
susceptible to harboring microbes and a recent consumer study done by Agion
showed school and office products as one of the top product categories consumers
would like antimicrobial protection.

"Agion antimicrobial protected keyboards from Dell will be an essential asset to
classrooms," said Paul Ford, chief executive officer of Agion Technologies.
"Dell is truly on the forefront of the industry as the first computer
manufacturer to recognize the market need and offer antimicrobial protection on
the Latitude 2100."

Agion Technologies is a leader in providing customized, natural, antimicrobial
solutions based on silver that continuously inhibits the growth of bacteria,
mold and fungus. Agion`s antimicrobial technology is Cradle To Cradle Certified
and is used in consumer, industrial and healthcare industries. The technology is
incorporated into a wide variety of products including cell phones, footwear,
