NEW PATENT GRANTS

ANGLE plc (AIM: AGL OTCQX: ANPCY), the specialist medtech company, is pleased to announce that it has been granted a Chinese patent and an Australian patent for its Parsortix system, which captures rare cells in blood for medical analysis.

The granted Chinese and Australian patents provide protection over a wide range of uses of the Parsortix technology. Granted patents have already been secured in the United States. Corresponding patent applications have been made worldwide in countries considered to represent substantial markets for Parsortix products.

The Company is pursuing a strategy to strengthen the breadth and duration of its patent coverage across major markets worldwide to maximise the commercial returns that can be achieved from its Parsortix technology. New patent applications will continue to be made in all territories consistent with this strategy.

ANGLE Founder and Chief Executive, Andrew Newland, commented:

"The grant of these patents in China and Australia extends ANGLE's protection over the Parsortix separation technology into major new markets. There is strong and growing interest in both China and Australia for liquid biopsies and we anticipate that following Europe and the United States, these will be important markets for Parsortix."

Notes for editors

About ANGLE plc www.angleplc.com

ANGLE is a specialist medtech company commercialising a disruptive platform technology that can capture cells circulating in blood, such as cancer cells, even when they are as rare in number as one cell in one billion blood cells, and harvest the cells for analysis.

ANGLE's cell separation technology is called the Parsortix system and it enables a liquid biopsy (simple blood test) to be used to provide the cells of interest. Parsortix is the subject of granted patents in the United States, China and Australia and three extensive families of patents are being progressed worldwide. The system is based on a microfluidic device that captures cells based on a combination of their size and compressibility. The Parsortix system is established with strong positive evaluations from leading cancer research centres and is working with these cancer centres to demonstrate key applications. Parsortix has a CE Mark for Europe and FDA authorisation is in process for the United States.

The analysis of the cells that can be harvested from patient blood with ANGLE's Parsortix system has the potential to help deliver personalised cancer care offering profound improvements in clinical and health economic outcomes in the treatment and diagnosis of various forms of cancer.

The global increase in cancer to a 1 in 3 lifetime incidence is set to drive a multi $billion clinical market. The Parsortix system is designed to be compatible with existing major medtech analytical platforms and to act as a companion diagnostic for major pharma in helping to identify patients that will benefit from a particular drug and then monitoring the drug's effectiveness.

Now that the Parsortix system has been developed, ANGLE is focused on its commercialisation in the market.

ANGLE has established formal collaborations with world-class cancer centres and is working with these cancer centres to demonstrate key applications for its Parsortix non-invasive cancer diagnostic system as a liquid biopsy.

As well as cancer, the Parsortix technology has the potential for deployment with several other important cell types in the future.

ANGLE began trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in March 2004 under the ticker symbol AGL. For further information please visit: www.angleplc.com.
