San Diego, California—November 15, 2010. Solulink, Inc., a leading innovator of state-of-
the-art conjugation reagents, easy-to-use linking kits, and conjugation services for the
life science research, diagnostics, and pharmaceutical markets, today announced it has
been awarded a $194,500 grant under the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project
program established under Section 48D of the Internal Revenue Code. The grant will aid
the company in advancing its new multiplexing detection platform (HybriLink™) for assay
development that could potentially be used in a variety of assays including cancer
diagnostics and assays used in the development of new therapeutics. Applications
include immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and many others all which will work on
existing laboratory instrumentation. Using Solulink’s new HybriLink™ platform,
researchers can potentially develop more informative and accurate diagnostics,
accelerate the discovery and development and of more effective therapeutics, and

projects that show a reasonable potential to:
- Result in new therapies to treat areas of unmet medical need or prevent, detect,
or treat chronic or acute diseases and conditions,
- Reduce the long-term growth of health care costs in the United States, or
