FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Unsolicited offer to Acquire/License the Gels Business update

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 17 September, 2008 – The Board of NuSep (ASX: NSP) wishes to update the market on the recently received unsolicited offer to acquire/license the Gels business as announced to the market on 23 June 2008.

The Board has conducted a thorough evaluation of this original offer plus a number of additional expressions of interest it later received for this division. Based on this evaluation, the Board has resolved to license its gel technology as this will provide the greatest return to shareholders.

It is the Board’s view that the future of the Company lies in the commercialisation of the MF10 and the SpermSep instruments. By licensing the gel technology the Company expects to be able to fund the sales growth of the MF10 and the clinical trials of the SpermSep without calling on additional funding from shareholders. In addition to this, it is envisaged that the licensing deal will generate an ongoing royalty fee.

The Company is negotiating terms and expects to be able to report back to shareholders within the next month.
