customer interest in Aspectrics\' biodiesel portfolio.

The Qwest Scientific team of experienced problem solvers works closely with
industrial and laboratory users to supply them with reliable and cost-effective
instrumentation as well as complementary product lines, including data systems such
as LIMS, gas generators and other laboratory and process instrumentation. With over
13 years\' experience in the industry, Qwest Scientific provides a customer-centric
approach, offering extended personalized pre and post sales technical support
services. With a database of over 12,000 customers and prospects in the West,
Southwest, and Pacific Northwest regions of USA, Qwest Scientific is an ideal
partner for Aspectrics. Under the terms of the agreement, Qwest Scientific will
utilize its thorough customer interaction expertise spanning across face-to-face,
telephone and email sales and customer seminars on-site and via the internet to best
promote Aspectrics\' complete range of biodiesel analyzers.

Qwest Scientific will be responsible for the distribution of Aspectrics\'
complete range of biodiesel analyzers, comprising the Biodiesel Quality Analyzer
1000 (BQA 1000) and the Aspectrics 2750 Biodiesel Analyzer.
Designed to provide fast and accurate results, the BQA 1000 is a rugged, at-line
analyzer that has been pre-calibrated for a number of harsh biodiesel production
applications to expedite set up and on-going analyses.
In addition, new calibrations can be added to the analyzer to meet future testing
requirements. Users can analyze incoming raw materials as well as finished products
for contaminates such as water percentage, methanol concentration, total glycerine,
free glycerine and Free Fatty Acids (FFA).
The analyzer is easy to clean, service and operate and requires no sample preparation.

The other Aspectrics biodiesel analyzer to be distributed by Qwest Scientific is the
Aspectrics 2750 Biodiesel Analyzer which is capable of performing reliable and
accurate quality assurance measurements of methanol, water and total glycerin in
biodiesel. Also designed to measure water content in ethanol, biodiesel blend
determination and analyzing ethanol/gasoline blends, the analyzer is a highly
flexible platform able to provide pass/fail information on multiple biodiesel
contaminants before samples are sent out for ASTM certification. A single analyzer
is capable of processing multiple biodiesel samples providing real-time results
where they matter most - at line!
