SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
PURE Bioscience (NASDAQ: PURE) and BioTech Medical LLC today announced that
BioTech Medical will be exhibiting at the annual ISSA/INTERCLEAN trade show
being held this week in Chicago. BioTech Medical`s booth, number 2042, will
feature SpectraSan24, a revolutionary disinfectant powered by PURE`s silver
dihydrogen citrate (SDC) antimicrobial technology. 

Andrea L. Goren, Executive Director of BioTech Medical LLC, stated, "We are
focused on building brand recognition through public relations, marketing and
professional endorsements as a foundation for nationwide sales of SpectraSan24
in dozens of business categories in the commercial, institutional and retail
marketplace. This trade show comes at a critical point in our marketing strategy
as we to continue to educate the industry about the unique benefits of
SpectraSan24 as well as capture direct sales and establish additional downline
distribution relationships." 

As the worldwide cleaning industry association, ISSA`s global membership
includes more than 5,500 distributor, manufacturer, building service contractor,
and in-house service provider companies. ISSA offers the industry's largest
cleaning shows around the world; a vast array of educational videos and
resources; networking on local, national, and international levels; industry
management standards; legislative and regulatory services; and industry news
specifically focused on the world's cleaning community. 

Jefferey Donnell, PURE Bioscience`s Vice President of Business Development,
commented, "BioTech Medical launched a successful public relations campaign that
so far resulted in coverage of SpectraSan24 in more than 30 trade publications
during the last three months. The PR program, combined with the exhibit booth at
ISSA/INTERCLEAN, demonstrates BioTech Medical`s dedication to promoting
SpectraSan24 as a leading brand in the commercial and institutional markets." 

SpectraSan 24`s broad spectrum power completely and rapidly eliminates bacteria,
fungi and viruses, including Influenza A. SpectraSan 24 also carries a 30-second
kill time on standard indicator bacteria, a 24-hour residual kill on standard
indicator bacteria, a 2-minute kill time on some resistant strains of bacteria,
a 10-minute kill time on fungi, a 30-second kill time on HIV Type I, and
10-minute kill times on other pathogenic viruses. These claims distinguish the
efficacy of SpectraSan 24 from many of the leading commercial and consumer
products currently on the market, while maintaining lower toxicity ratings.
Based on the EPA toxicity ratings from Category I (high toxicity) down to
Category IV, SpectraSan 24 is a Category IV antimicrobial for which
precautionary labeling statements are not required. This compares with Category
II warning statements for most leading brands of disinfectant products.
