R-Biopharm offers different laboratory tests for both IgE and IgG determination in human serum as well as histamine release assay. Especially in children under the age of six, in case of suspected extreme sensibility and in patients with skin dermatosis in the testing area (neurodermitis, urticaria etc.) in-vitro diagnostics are frequently the only possibilities to confirm an atopic sensitization. RIDASCREEN® ELISA – single and panel testing RIDASCREEN® ELISA is an enzyme immunoassay for the detection of total/specific IgE and specific IgG antibodies. The system is based on a cellulose disc bound single allergen determination either in microwell plates or strips. R-Biopharm offers the allergen discs inserted in both 8-well breakable strips and 16 well solid microwell blocks (panel). With the possibility to order different individual panels, the high flexibility of single allergens is combined elegantly with the economic efficiency and the simple handling of the customized plate. R-Biopharm offers also customized plates assembled with allergen discs by R-Biopharm according to the client’s order. This offers full flexibility in diagnostics, cost management and storage. RIDA® AllergyScreen® – panel testing RIDA® AllergyScreen® is an immunoblot especially designed for IgE mediated allergy screening purposes. With only 250 μl serum per panel 20 allergens can be tested simply and quickly in one work cycle, an efficient and highly economic system for the diagnostic confirmation of allergies. The evaluation of the panels is done either manually by comparing the bands with a color card or automatically by way of digital picture evaluation in the RIDA® X-Screen, RIDA® quadro-Screen or RIDA® maXi-Screen 2. Histamine-Release-Test (HR-Test) – single and panel testing The HR-Test is an in-vitro method to detect allergen induced histamine release from basophil leukocytes by the use of a patented glassfiber method. As the HR-Test detects the symptom causing agent - the histamine directly, it completes the present in-vitro allergy diagnostics. RIDASCREEN® spec. IgG Foodscreen The specific IgG Foodscreen is an enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative determination of specific IgG antibodies against food allergens and can be used in cases of suspected non-IgE mediated food allergy.

In the industrialized nations they are by now the second frequent disease in childhood. The diagnostics of infectious intestinal diseases belongs to the most frequent requirements in a medical microbiological lab. Knowledge of pathogenesis, epidemiology and diagnostics of these diseases has grown considerably over the last years, along with the list of possible agents. Besides the classical methods of microbiology, immunological tests like ELISA and immunochromatographic rapid tests play an increasingly important role in the microbiological lab. Their advantage over culturing methods is the possibility of detecting also those germs that are no longer able to multiply. Usually, an infection caused by enteropathogenic microorganisms disturbs the normal barrier function of the intestinal mucosa, however normally only temporarily. Such enteropathogenic species are found among bacteria, viruses and protozoans. As far as infants are concerned, Rotaviruses are among the most important causes of infec- tious enteritis. In addition to Astro- and Adenoviruses, Norovirus in particular plays an important role among those viral agents as it cannot be cultivated. Among the protozoans, Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica and Cryptosporidia are the most important causative agents of diarrhoea. As far as bacteria are concerned, Campylobacter causes by now just as many diseases as Salmonella, besides a large number of other pathogenic bacteria species. R-Biopharm offers a wide range of test kits for the specific detection of antigens of the different pathogenic agents in stool specimens. The ELISA systems are available under the trade name RIDASCREEN®, the immunochromatographic rapid tests under the trade name RIDA®QUICK respectively. The rapid tests are offered as dipsticks as well as in the practical cassette format.

The R-Biopharm test systems for infectious diseases cover all important areas of modern serological diagnostics. All test kits are highly specific and sensitive for the respective pathogens. New! All RIDASCREEN® Sero ELISA test kits contain two additional controls for quality assurance purposes. RIDASCREEN® Sero ELISA: Individual patient analysis leads to multiple determinations which must be tested in parallel. Test specific reagents and different incubation times require an amount of time and work that can hardly be handled. In our RIDASCREEN® Sero ELISA product group the number of reagents is reduced to a minimum by offering common buffers and conjugates. Identical incubation times also make the simultaneous analysis of different tests easier. Thus RIDASCREEN® Sero ELISA fulfil the essential requirements for an automatic processing on modern ELISA systems that help to facilitate procedures in the laboratory. A single-point calibration of the standard curve reduces the number of standards to a single one and therefore keeps costs to the minimum. Interpretation of results is quick and easy by using RIDA®SOFT Win software. In addition to the RIDASCREEN® Sero ELISA product line R-Biopharm offers two more groups for infectious serological diagnostics: RIDASCREEN® ELISA for Chlamydia diagnostics: Identification of species-specific antibodies is the decisive factor in the diagnosis of Chlamydia. The high crossreactivity of most antigens poses an immense problem for this diagnostic test. Only certain components of the outer membrane protein complex allow the separate identification of antigens against C. trachomatis and C. pneumoniae. By using these proteins in the RIDASCREEN® ELISA we offer two highly specific tests for Chlamydia diagnostics. Common reagents and incubation times allow simultaneous analysis of these parameters that are of high importance for infectious serology. RIDASCREEN® ELISA for parasite diagnostics: R-Biopharm offers six ELISAs for the most important serological parameters in parasitology. To ensure quality of antibody detection in parasite diagnostics the selection of appropriate antigens is crucial. For this reason we place a special focus on the selections of antigens used in our RIDASCREEN® ELISA for parasite diagnostics. Also in this product line all test share common buffers and incubation times.

In many areas of infectious diseases the classical detection methods have been replaced or supplemented by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. The earlier a disease is discovered and diagnosed, the better it can be treated. Molecular diagnostics allow for an early and specific diagnosis by direct detection of DNA or RNA of the pathogen thus leading to a selective and therapeutic treatment of the individual patient. R-Biopharm RIDA®GENE-kits are based on real-time PCR technology for detection of gastrointestinal infections, hospital acquired infections (HAI) and respiratory infections. This highly sensitive and specific method provides rapid results. A variety of commercial manual or automated extraction systems can be used to obtain the DNA or RNA of the pathogen from different specimens. RIDA®GENE kits can be run on commonly used real-time PCR instruments, such as LightCycler®, SmartCycler®, ABI series or Mx series. This allows for a flexible use of the RIDA®GENE kits for routine diagnostics. R-Biopharm RIDA®GENE kits include all necessary components required for the specific detection of pathogens. An included internal control detects potential PCR inhibition and ensures reliable results. All R-Biopharm RIDA®GENE kits are CE marked and are regularly evaluated by participation in the QCMD (Quality Control for Molecular Diagnostics) quality assessment.

Malignant cells exhibit increased glucose consumption as well as increased glycolysis compared to normal cells. The observation that glycolysis is preferred also under aerobic conditions was already noticed and published in the 1920s by the German Nobel laureate Otto Warburg and is known as the “Warburg effect”. The “Warburg effect” is still a topic of intensive research. The involved scientists hope that they will be able to find new diagnostics and therapeutics to fight cancer. In general cancer patients do not die because of a primary tumor but because of the metabolic consequences of uncontrolled tumor growth and expansion (metastasis). It is of utmost importance to identify these aggressive tumors early and to treat them with specific therapies. Transketolase dependent reactions regulate the non-oxidative part of the pentose-phosphate-pathway (PPP) in glucose metabolism. This pathway generates NADPH and pentose phosphates. The latter are important for nucleic acid metabolism. Recent publications show, that beside the ubiquitous transketolase (TKT) other transketolaselike proteins exist. In 1996 Coy et al. reported that transketolase-like 1 (TKTL1) is a transketolase-like protein with a 38 amino acid deletion compared to TKT. role of TKTL1 in tumor metabolism. Expression studies on transketolase-like 1 show that the protein is found in aggressive tumors of different entities. The detection of TKTL1 is furthermore correlated with poor patient prognosis and metastasis. Furthermore published functional data is available. It has been shown, that the inhibition of TKTL1 expression by RNA interference results in reduced growth of tumor cells, while overexpression of TKTL1 promotes cell proliferation. Latest publications suggest an important role of TKTL1 in the metabolism of tumor cells. TKTL1 can be detected by immunohistochemistry in patient biopsies with RIDA® PentoCheck® IHC. Since 1996 TKTL1 is a matter of active research and many studies appeared on the R-Biopharm AG – Product Catalogue 2012 28 Tumor Diagnostics Pento Pento Pento PentoCheck Check Check CheckIHC IHC IHC IHC(T001)_FINAL.qxp (T001)_FINAL.qxp (T001)_FINAL.qxp (T001)_FINAL.qxp 22.11.2006 22.11.2006 22.11.2006 22.11.2006 12:19 12:19 12:19 12:19 Seite Seite Seite Seite2222 Primary Antibodies ®®®® ®®®® Description Product RIDA RIDA RIDA RIDA PentoCheck PentoCheck PentoCheck PentoCheck IHC IHC IHC IHC(T001) (T001) (T001) (T001) ® RIDA PentoCheck® Analysis Analysis Analysis Analysis Tests Matrix Art.

Until now these possibilities have either not been fully exploited or not been adequately used in routine diagnostics. The significance of the intestine, known to be the organ with the largest physiologically effective surface area, is still completely underestimated with regards to its importance for health in general. In Germany, approximately 73.000 people are diagnosed each year as having bowel cancer. Colonoscopy is still the method of reference used for detecting carcinomas and adenomas. The detection of occult blood in stool samples is a frequently used screening method of detecting bowel cancer in its early stages. The commonly used guaiac tests are based on the pseudo-peroxidase activity of haemoglobin. These tests are highly sensitive to different food compounds and have therefore a limited significance for detecting bowel cancer. Immunological test systems in contrast have a definite advantage by using specific antibodies exclusively directed against human haemoglobin respectively haemoglobin/haptoglobin complex: These tests can recognize human haemoglobin that is one hundred times lower in concentration compared to that in biochemical methods. False positive or false negative results due to interfering food compounds are nearly impossible. More than 300.000 patients are suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Germany. In many cases, chronic inflammatory bowel disease shows symptoms that are very difficult to distinguish from those of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The recently developed new Calprotectin assay provided by R-Biopharm AG will further improve diagnosis of CED. Fecal calprotectin measurement provides a reliable differentiation between chronic inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome. In addition to this measurement of fecal calprotectin provides a means of objectively assessing the response to treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel disease and for monitoring these patients during clinical remission to enable the early detection and treatment of relapses of IBD.

Deliverable are only the products which are contained in our current applicable price lists. VII. Warranty / Liability 1. It is precondition for the execution of claims based on a defect, that the Buyer has performed his responsibilities to examine and complain according to § 377 of the German Commercial Code (“Handelsgesetzbuch” -”HGB”) correctly and completely. 2. We are liable for faultlessness of the goods corresponding to the state of the art. Features of samples and specimens as well as any statements regarding the condition of the goods, shall only be considered as an agreement on quality, if they explicitly have been agreed upon as determining the condition of the goods. Otherwise they are non-binding and do not free the Buyer from an own inspection of the goods concerning their suitability for his purposes. We neither grant guarantees with the content of a liability without fault nor any other kind of guarantees for quality and durability in the legal sense. 3. We are not liable for damages as far as they have been caused by improper storage of our products and/or their application contrary to the prescriptions - e. g. application after expiry of their shelf life or contrary to the direction for use - or as far as they have been caused by the Buyer in any other way. 4. The exceeding of use-by dates after the delivery does not entitle the Buyer to claims of any kind, but is deemed to be the usual condition. This is not the case, if the period between the date of delivery and the use-by date is less than four (4) calendar weeks. 5. We shall only be liable for damages, as far as we attributable have caused them by intent or gross negligence (disregard for the due care and attention to a very coarse extent); except in case of violation of essential contractual obligations (obligations, whose fulfillment enables the proper execution of the contract at all and on whose observance the contractual partner may rely regularly). In this last-mentioned case we are liable for each negligence with the restriction that - in case of violation of essential contractual duties by slight negligence - our liability is limited to the damage which typically is predictable. 6. Should we not have violated any essential contractual obligations in the sense mentioned before, we are not liable in cases of slight negligence. Unaffected by any limitation of liability contained in these General Terms & Conditions stay: Liability for intent, malice, initial inability, gross negligence, liability resulting from a guarantee (which, however, we generally not grant), bodily harms and other cases of legally compelling liability - in these cases the statutory law is valid (under exclusion of the Terms and Conditions of our contractual partner). 7. The regulations of this clause Warranty/Liability are valid for our contractual liability as well as liability resulting from tort (unaffected thereby stays the action for possession in case of tort, after statutory limitation has taken place, § 852 German Civil Code (“Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch” -BGB”)). 8. As far as our lability is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of our representatives, employees and vicarious agents and our liability for them. 9. As far as there is a defect of the goods, for which we are liable, the Buyer has to grant us the opportunity to execute subsequent performance within a term of generally two (2) calendar weeks, before the assertion of his further rights. In case that subsequent performance fails twice, in case of our refusal, or if subsequent performance is impossible, is delayed unreasonably or unreasonable for the Buyer due to other reasons, the Buyer may - according to his choice - execute his further legal rights, namely rescission or reduction of the purchase price and (regarding defects for which we are liable) claim of possibly occurred damages or compensation for possible futile expenditure, by which our liability is limited according to the preceding regulations. III. Prices and Conditions of Payment / Withdrawal in case of default 1. Purchase price is the price stated by us or - if no price has been stated - the price which is contained in our price list, which is in effect on the day of the order. The prices stated by us - unless otherwise stipulated in writing - are including packing and shipping costs, excluding VAT. The deduction of cash discounts shall not be granted. A small-quantity surcharge in the amount of 10 Euros can be charged for deliveries with a product value of up to 300 Euros (small quantity). 2. Payment obligations resulting from the delivery of goods are to be fulfilled within thirty (30) days of the invoice date by bank transfer exclusively and shall be deemed to have been effected only to the extent, to which we can dispose of them freely at a bank. For checks and bills of exchange, a processing fee of 30 Euros shall be charged; discounting and expenses shall be for the account of the Buyer. 3. The Buyer shall only be entitled to set-off with a counter-claim which is undisputed or has been determined by a final verdict. A right of retention the Buyer does only have as far as it is resulting from the same contractual relationship. 4. Should the Buyer be in default with due payments entirely or partly, the regulations of the statutory law are applicable. Interest in the amount of 8% above the basic interest rate (as it is published by the German Federal Bank) shall be due. We are reserving the right to claim any exceeding damage for delay. 5. In case of withdrawal, we are entitled - at the expense of the Buyer - to let the goods, which have been delivered by us, mark, store separately and collect. The Buyer - already yet - is declaring his consent that the persons who are commissioned with the collection are entitled to access the premises, on which the goods are, and enter them by car for this purpose. 6. In case of our withdrawal, we are not obliged to further deliveries any more, also regarding further future deliveries. IV. Retention of Title 1. We shall retain title to the goods delivered by us, until all the claims, to which we are entitled on whatever legal grounds arising from our business relationship with the Buyer, have been fully satisfied. Upon the Buyer’s request, we shall be obligated to release the securities in so far as their realizable value exceeds our claims by more than 10%. We reserve the right to select the items of collateral to be released. 2. The Buyer undertakes to only sell the goods, which are subject to retention, in his ordinary course of business, according to his usual terms and conditions of business and only as long as he is not in default with his payments. He is entitled to resell the goods, which are subject to retention, only on the condition that a transfer of the receivables, resulting from such a resale, to us takes place. He is not be entitled to dispose of the goods, which are subject to retention, in any another way (such as e. g. collateral assignment, pledging, leasing, lending, etc.). The Buyer is obligated to immediately notify us of any seizure or other interference by a third party, together with handing over of the documents which are necessary for an intervention. V. Delivery 1. Our delivery times are generally only approximate and not binding. 2. Uncontrollable incidents, for which we are not responsible, e. g. natural phenomena, war, orders of the authorities, embargo, unexpected delays in the delivery of essential components and other materials (“Force Majeure”), shall prolong the delivery time reasonably. This also applies, if these incidents occur during a delay in delivery or at a sub-supplier. However, the delivery time shall be prolonged by a maximum period of two (2) months. Should we also not be able to deliver after this time, then the Buyer as well as we themselves are entitled to withdraw from the contract. Any claims of damages of the Buyer for this reason are excluded. Should we withdraw from the contract, we shall immediately refund the Buyer any and all payments possibly rendered for not yet delivered goods. 3. Should the Buyer - despite reminder - not fulfill his payment obligations resulting from existing contracts, we shall only supply on advance payment from then on. 4. We are entitled to partial deliveries to a reasonable extent; here each partial delivery can be invoiced separately. In case of order on call, the call-off has to take place at least two (2) calendar weeks prior to the desired delivery date. VIII. Burden of Proof / Export / Effectiveness 1. With none of the stipulations of these General Terms & Conditions an alteration of the burden of proof is intended. 2. We are not liable for the correctness of information regarding foreign-trade which we provide to our best conscience; it is the Buyer´s responsibility to assess the compliance with foreign-trade regulations with regard to our products himself. 3. Should any of the regulations of our General Terms & Conditions be ineffective and/or incomplete, the validity of the other regulations shall remain unaffected thereby. IX. Applicable Law and Place of Jurisdiction 1. The contractual relationship shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, which shall be applicable supplementary. The UN-convention on contracts regarding the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply. 2. Exclusive Place of Jurisdiction is Darmstadt (Germany). However, we are entitled to file a lawsuit against the Buyer also at any other court, which does have jurisdiction regarding him according to the general regulations. VI. Shipment and Passing of Risk 1. Dispatch ex works or distribution warehouse shall be carried out at the expense of the Buyer. Shipping route and mode of dispatch shall be determined by 37 R-Biopharm AG – Product Catalogue 2012 38 39 03/2012 R-Biopharm AG, An der neuen Bergstraße 17, 64297 Darmstadt, Germany Phone: +49 (0) 61 51 - 81 02-0, Fax: +49 (0) 61 51 - 81 02-20 E-mail: [email protected] 40 R-Biopharm AG – Product Catalogue 2012 www.r-biopharm.com
