OR-YEHUDA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 2006--Do-Coop Technologies Ltd., a privately held corporation based in Israel, announced today the commercial availability of Neowater^TM - ELISA Enhancer, a new product that increases immunoassay sensitivity and accuracy, while reducing total reaction costs. As with the entire Neowater-based product line, the ELISA Enhancer product is also generic, simple to use, and can be easily incorporated into any type of immunoassays with dramatic results.

About Neowater

Neowater is an enabling technology that is based on breakthrough water-based nanotechnology. Unlike traditional, dry nanotechnology, which focuses on a nanoparticle end product, Neowater builds upon the unique properties of nanoparticles to modify the physical properties of water molecules around them.

Each nanoparticle within Neowater, with its huge surface, creates an effect known as the "surface effect," and in turn organizes the water molecules surrounding it. This is similar to the surface effect of organelles within living cells. Both the organelles and the nanoparticles use this unique mechanism to create intracellular water. While the former is within cells and organs and cannot be harnessed nor used in a lab bench, the latter one, which is branded as Neowater, can.

This technology, developed in Israel, produces water whose physical properties mimic that of intracellular water using inorganic, insoluble crystals introduced in water in a patented process. Neowater, with its stable system of largely hydrated nano-particles, like non-ionic detergent derived micelles, reduces the entropy of aqueous solutions. In addition, by design, it exhibits both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.

Neowater-based products significantly accelerate and improve the efficiency of biological reactions.

About Neowater^TM - ELISA Enhancer

"Neowater technology dramatically enhances immunoassay sensitivity and accuracy, and like all of our other products, it is very easy to use within existing immunoassays. The new product, with validated third-party results, provide researchers and diagnostics companies with an easy yet effective way to enhance assays without the need to change equipment or protocols," said Eran Gabbai, founder, President and CTO of Do-Coop Technologies, and the inventor of Neowater technology.

Do-Coop Technologies continues to add novel products that dramatically enhance upstream research and diagnostic processes. All that is required when using the Neowater enhancer product family is to activate the reaction's components with Neowater enhancer and proceed as usual while reading the product user guidelines that is included with each separate product, for each application.

"Our immediate plans include the introduction of novel downstream products such as protein expression and purification enhancers, protein and enzyme stabilizers and solubilization and uptake enhancers for insoluble, hydrophobic molecules, all of which are based on Neowater technology," concluded Gabbai.

Do-Coop Technologies is exhibiting (Booth number 2379) at the upcoming BIO 2006 conference in Chicago, on April 9-12, 2006, and will also present its Neowater technology at the Business Forum on Tuesday, April 11 at 09:34, room "E".
