Concateno's Drugs of Abuse Testing Wins the Queen's Award for Enterprise

LONDON, April 21, 2010 - Concateno ( www.concateno.com/index.php?cPath=147_152_297),
Europe's leading drug and alcohol test provider, has been awarded the
prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise
(www.queensawards.org.uk/business/business.html ) in recognition of
its outstanding innovation and commercial performance.

The Queen's Award for Enterprise is the highest honour that
can be bestowed upon a business and is the UK's top award for business
performance. Awards are made by Her Majesty The Queen on the advice of the
Prime Minister and his advisory committee, comprised of leading industry
leaders and government representatives, for special contributions towards
innovation and commercial success. A major contributing factor towards
Concateno's award was its innovative oral fluid mobile drugs of abuse
detection system, the Cozart(R) DDS(R), developed using world-leading
technology.

Fiona Begley, Concateno's chief executive officer, said: "We
are delighted and very proud to have won this award. The DDS is a truly
innovative breakthrough in drug detection technology. Designed and built here
in the UK by our own staff, the device has helped improve the efficiency of
police officers, healthcare professionals and others around the world by
significantly speeding up sample analysis at point of care."

Begley added: "Every day our customers have to make tough
decisions on drug and alcohol misuse that can profoundly affect people's
lives. Concateno provides an unparalleled breadth of advisory services and
testing capabilities with an emphasis on quality and best practice so that
our customers can rely on our tests when it matters most."

"Winning this Award is a great tribute to our staff - not only
to the research and development teams but to everyone who has successfully
helped to bring our products and services to market. Our remarkable team has
developed a number of innovations to improve laboratory and testing
techniques, and has quite literally led the world in achieving quality
standards and customer services. They richly deserve the recognition the
Queen's Award gives them."

As well as winning UK government contracts, such as for its
use in the Home Office's (www.homeoffice.gov.uk/) Drugs Intervention
Programme (
drugs.homeoffice.gov.uk/drug-interventions-programme/index.html),
Concateno's mobile drug testing devices have enjoyed significant
international sales in Australia, Spain, Italy and other countries.

The Cozart(R) DDS(R) has heralded a major advance for
countries with zero tolerance for motorists who drive with illicit drugs in
their system. Traffic police in Australia, for example, have seen a dramatic
drop in the number of drug driving convictions since roadside drug testing
was introduced.

The light, portable product incorporates two innovations - an
oral swab sample collector, which provides automatic indication of when
sufficient oral fluid has been collected, and a reliable oral fluid test unit
that includes digital readout and printer. It enables quick and accurate
screening for up to six drugs, in-situ.

"We hope that the UK and other governments will also consider
introducing legislation that will allow roadside drug testing, to support a
campaign against motorists who take drugs that are known to impair driving
skills, before they get behind the wheel." explained Karon Hawthorne, product
manager for Concateno. "We have enough evidence to show that roadside drug
testing alongside an educational awareness campaign can be extremely
effective in reducing this road safety issue."

The Queens Award for Enterprise will be conferred on Her
Majesty's birthday, April 21, 2010.
