EnWave Corporation to Test Animal Vaccines with Saskatchewan Research Council Using freezeREV Pharmaceutical Dehydration Technology

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - October 27, 2009) - EnWave Corporation (TSX VENTURE: ENW)(FRANKFURT: E4W) (“EnWave,” or “the Company”), has signed an agreement with the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) to install the Company’s freezeREV in-vial pharmaceutical dehydration technology for animal vaccine testing at the SRC Fermentation Pilot Plant in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. SRC scientists will conduct a series of viability and shelf-life tests using two proprietary Escherichia coli (“E.coli”) vaccines for swine to determine the potential benefits of EnWave’s dehydration technology over the current preservation method, freeze drying.

Following the testing of SRC’s E.coli vaccines, SRC will make their facilities available to third-party producers of vaccines to conduct their own testing of EnWave’s freezeREV technology on a fee-for-service basis. SRC will also use their extensive industry expertise to evaluate the current freezeREV prototype and provide input into EnWave’s current design concepts for the next generation multi-vial prototype.

EnWave’s proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV”) technology combines microwave energy with vacuum pressure to produce high-speed dehydration of live or active pharmaceuticals in vials. The Company has developed two versions of REV for use in drying live or active pharmaceuticals: bioREV™, a dehydration method for materials which require a gentler drying process without extreme temperature changes or freezing, and freezeREV, a dehydration method for frozen material where low moisture levels in the final product are imperative for long product shelf-life.

“The Saskatchewan Research Council currently performs pilot-scale vaccine production for a number of vaccine producers in Canada, and they are keen to find a dehydration alternative that is faster and less expensive than freeze drying,” said Dr. Tim Durance, EnWave’s Chairman & Co-CEO. “Our prototype freezeREV technology is designed to dry material in minutes, compared to days required for conventional freeze dryers. It will significantly reduce processing costs.

While the technology worked well for recent samples of antibodies, we are looking forward to testing the machine on a new vaccine in order to further prove the concept of freezeREV. Additionally, we are saving the company many hundreds of thousands of dollars by eliminating the need to build a laboratory, capable of handling pathogenic material, and instantly acquiring access to the highly-trained scientists and engineers at the SRC.”

“SRC is dedicated to providing research, development and demonstration solutions that address current industry needs,” said Dale Kelly, vice-president of SRC’s Agriculture, Biotechnology and Food Division. “We are excited to work with EnWave on piloting Radiant Energy Vacuum technology to evaluate its potential as an alternative to current processing and preservation methods of freeze drying for vaccines and biologics.”
