Press Release Summary = Confirm BioSciences Introduces First Comprehensive
Home-based Hair Follicle Test to Combat Marijuana, Cocaine, Ecstasy and Illicit
Substance Abuse

Press Release Body = SAN DIEGO, CALIF. ( ExpressPressRelease ) (June 4, 2007) --
Confirm BioSciences, a San Diego-based biotech company, announced today the
introduction of HairConfirmT, a home-based hair follicle drug test kit that screens
for cocaine (including crack cocaine), marijuana, amphetamine (meth/amphetamine and
ecstasy), opiate (heroin and codeine) and Phencyclidine (PCP and angel dust).
HairConfirmT is the first home test of its kind to provide accurate results and a
detailed drug history report-detecting drug use for up to 90 days and identifying
whether the user is a low, medium or high user. Moreover, it will definitively show
if someone has not consumed illicit substances. Test results are available two
business days after the lab receives the sample, the fastest turnaround time in hair
testing.

HairConfirmT enables parents to take a more proactive role in preventing their
children\'s illegal drug use. With nearly one in 10 children over the age of 12
abusing drugs (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2004), addiction remains
a grave problem among teenagers and often contributes to crime and violence, teen
pregnancies, school dropouts and death. A 2002 research by Teens Today 2002 shows
that parents are the number one deterrent to a teen\'s decision to use drugs and 66
percent of parents are willing to use drug testing as a prevention tool.
\"HairConfirmT is an important tool for

parents who want to prevent and combat drug addiction,\" said Zeynep Ilgaz, CEO of
Confirm BioSciences. \"Talking with your teen about drugs and taking preventive
measures like hair drug testing can be a significant factor in preventing substance
abuse.\"

Hair follicle drug testing is a highly trusted method of drug detection. Unlike
urine or saliva testing which can be tampered with and detectable for only up to two
or three days, HairConfirmT will screen for the five most popular drug classes to
determine a 90-day drug history. Test results can show the trend of a habit over
time and accurately determine what drugs were used. Marianne D., a concerned
parent\'s fictitious name to ensure her privacy based in Garwood, New Jersey has
tried HairConfirmT and said, \".This has been the second time I\'ve had to use this,
unfortunately. I don\'t know what I would have done without it.\"

Based on research performed by Confirm BioSciences on current use of home-based drug
testing kits by parents, hair drug testing is a preferred method of testing
teenagers for drug abuse for many of the parents in cities like Newport Beach, Palo
Alto, Carlsbad, Redondo Beach, Del Mar, Huntington Beach, Bellevue, Southfield,
Newton, Wayne, Stamford, Troy, Wheaton, Norwalk, Austin, McKinney, and Edison. Drug
abuse by teenagers is not a problem limited to low income urban areas and marijuana
use is not the only problem for most families. The U.S. government is taking
proactive measures for teenagers to be tested both at home and in school. The White
House Office of National Drug Control Policy recently announced that it will hold
four regional summits promoting random student drug testing in public middle
schools.
