  SUNNYVALE, CA, Nov 02 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Arrayit Corporation (OTCBB: ARYC) is pleased to join the federal
government in their efforts to help control health care costs by
leveraging Arrayit's leading edge health care platform.

    For more than 150 years, traditional medicine has relied on a 'standards
of care' model, which utilizes large cohorts of individuals as the data
set and essentially treats every person in an identical manner. While this
medical model provides a good paradigm for standard health care practices,
it is woefully deficient in that it fails to include genetic and
epigenetic differences between people as well as the interplay between
our genes and environmental factors including medication, diet and other
lifestyle considerations. In a major paradigm shift, personalized
medicine is gaining rapid popularity in that it endeavors to provide
customized health care to individuals inclusive of genetics, epigenetics
and the environment, leading to early stage diagnosis of diseases that
have exacted a heavy cost in quality and length of life and dollars spent
in late stage treatment.

    Personalized medicine is a vastly superior advance in health care if it
can be delivered at a rate equivalent to or less than the current
standards of care model. As a next generation health care company,
Arrayit Corporation is capable of delivering personalized medical
information to the public at a fraction of current costs, owing to the
company's unique ability to miniaturize, automate and massively
parallelize genomic and proteomic tests. In simple terms, these molecular
diagnostic tests, requiring only a blood sample, will be more accurate
and less personally invasive than many traditional cancer screening
methods. Arrayit's patented microarray manufacturing technology and
Variation Identification Platform (VIP) procedures, deployed in clinical
laboratories and reference centers, are capable of testing entire
population groups. Arrayit personalized medical tests for pre-symptomatic
ovarian cancer detection, H1N1 screening, and Parkinson's Disease
diagnostics represent only a few of the collaborative milestones soon to
be announced.
