Pressure BioSciences, Inc.

today announced measurable progress in the development of a new procedure for the selective extraction of male DNA from mixtures of male and female cells. The project's goal is to improve the processing of sexual assault evidence kits (also called "rape kits"); the new procedure is based on the Company's patented Pressure Cycling Technology. The data were reported at the recent 17th Latin-American Symposium on Biotechnology, Biomedical, Biopharmaceutical, and Industrial Applications of Capillary Electrophoresis and Microchip Technology. This international conference was held from December 2-6, 2011 in Hollywood, Florida.
