FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Singapore Government Provides Financial & Economic Support for Singapore Plasma Fractionation Project
Sydney, Australia 25[th] July 2011 - NuSep (ASX: NSP) is pleased to report that the Singapore Economic Development Board ( EDB ) has agreed to provide financial and economic support for its Singapore plasma fractionation facility. The EDB is the lead government agency that plans and executes economic strategies that enhance Singapore's position as a global hub for business, investment and talent.
Mr John Manusu, NuSep’s Executive Chairman said, “This is a significant step forward as we now have investment support from the Singapore Government for our Singapore plasma fractionation project. This Government support builds on our business plan to introduce the PrIME Mini Mills in the Asian region.”
Dr Hari Nair, Managing Director of NuSep added that “Once the facility is operational, this investment will reduce the cost of public healthcare to Singapore and Asian countries in general. Fundamentally this will help countries in the region to become self-sufficient in their requirements for plasma proteins with the main demonstrator facility being in Singapore.”
Completion of the Plasma Fractionation Facility in Singapore will validate the PrIME process and open up the US$1bn Asian Therapeutic Plasma market to NuSep.
ENDS

About SingaPharm
SingaPharm is a Singapore based biotech company that has developed a disposable procedure for the processing of plasma proteins. SingaPharm is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of NuSep Holdings Limited (ASX: NSP). SingaPharm’s process is based on the Pr eparative I solation by M embrane E lectrophoresis (PrIME) technology developed by NuSep. PrIME provides disposable modular processing that is ‘electronically’ driven membrane fractionation.
This process is flexible and modular compared with the large scale inflexible processing facilities of existing fractionators in US and Europe. The process has increased product yield relative to the existing process with increased product safety. The flexible nature of the PrIME technology also provides SingaPharm with access to plasma volumes that previously did not meet the criteria for larger scale processing facilities. Further, SingaPharm’s process can produce multiple plasma products in hours compared to days, which is required by the current manufacturers.
