("ABI" or the "Company")

ABI Signs Multi Product Over-the-Counter Distribution Agreement

Akers Biosciences, Inc (AIM:AKR), a leading designer and manufacturer of rapid diagnostic screening and testing products, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with a large U.S. distributor specialising in over-the-counter diagnostic products. The distributor, who cannot be named for commercial reasons, will market several of the Company's products to the U.S. retail market, including Tri-Cholesterol, the only disposable, rapid test in the world to read HDL, LDL and Total cholesterol levels.

Marketing of ABI's products under the agreement will begin immediately to drug, food and convenience stores and mass retailers. Clients include such retailers as Kmart, Wal-Mart, CVS, Walgreens, 7-Eleven, Safeway, Costco and Target.

Currently ABI has limited representation in the U.S. retail markets for over-the-counter sales but this agreement  will transform the scale of personnel marketing ABI's products and the regions in which the Company is able to penetrate.

Thomas NicolettePresident and Chief Executive Officer of ABI said,

"This agreement represents a significant step in our strategy to penetrate a large segment of the U.S.  retail healthcare market to complement our aggressive activities in the hospital and clinical laboratory arenas. There is a clear need for many of our products for use directly by consumers and we are pleased to partner with distributors who have the networks and ability to take our tests to them."
