DATED DECEMBER 3, 2007     ARS RECENT NEWS RELEASE:

ARS Announces Strategic Initiative to Further Develop it’s Patented Hydrocapsule® and Patent-Pending Polymer Gel Technology. 

ARS’ patented Hydrocapsule® technology, a polymeric capsule capable of sustaining aqueous solutions for extended periods of time, and initially developed to feed nutritional diets and water to beneficial insects (good bugs that eat pest bugs) for mass release into the environment as one of the USDA’s Insect Pest Management (IPM) strategies for alternative methods to traditional pesticides, has shown the ability to deliver other water-based solutions for many other applications.

Oral vaccines, liquid diets, pesticides, herbicides, among others, have long posed a lucrative market in connection with this technology.  This enabling technology is a method of aqueous controlled delivery using a UV polymerized coating that is impervious to humidity and water degradation issues commonly known with gelatin capsules. 

Potential applications include Hydrocapsules disguised as a food or water source enabling a way of delivering dosages of insect poisons, viruses or insect growth regulators to foraging fire ant colonies. The Hydrocapsule technology has also shown to have potential applications in the aquaculture (fish farm) industry as a transport method to deliver liquid diets, dosages of antibiotics and other medicines to fish. 

ARS, in a parallel effort, is attempting to incorporate a new patent-pending polymer gel technology in each of these areas of application.  As its strategic initiative, the Company intends to approach these and several other markets in the upcoming months. 

For additional information regarding the foregoing and other continuing developments, please contact Michael Pitsokos, in ARS’s business development office at 678-234-843.  You can read more about ARS’ Hydrocapsule® technology at www.hydrocapsule.com.
