Bring Latest Technologies to Newborn Screening Worldwide

Customers to benefit from more high quality newborn screening platforms.

Durham, NC, September 08, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Baebies, a company focused on advancing newborn
screening and pediatric testing, today announced that it has signed a bilateral distribution agreement with
Trivitron's Labsystems Diagnostics Oy to deliver a wider range of newborn screening solutions across
several global markets. Baebies will distribute Labsystems' newborn screening products in the U.S. after
obtaining regulatory clearance, while Labsystems will distribute Baebies' SEEKER platform
internationally; SEEKER is FDA authorized and CE marked. SEEKER is a high throughput laboratory
solution for newborn screening and is currently configured to perform testing for certain lysosomal
storage diseases.

Labsystems is a global leader in the field of newborn screening solutions. NeoMass AAAC is used with
Tandem Mass Spectrometry to detect concentrations of amino acids, free carnitine, acylcarnitines,
succinylacetone and argininosuccinic acid. NS 2400 is a fully integrated robotic high throughput platform
to perform enzymatic assays and immunoassays. Both are CE marked and commercialized in many parts
of the world.

At this time, our newborn screening customers have only a single solution for many of their newborn
screening tests. This exciting partnership allows us to offer the latest solutions and to provide a
comprehensive offering to our growing customer base, said Richard West, co-founder and CEO of
Baebies. This partnership furthers our mission to ensure that every baby gets a healthy start by bringing
innovative and cost-effective solutions to benefit babies everywhere, added Vamsee Pamula, PhD,
co-founder and President of Baebies.

In the wake of FDA authorization and CE marking, there has been a tremendous surge of interest in
Baebies' SEEKER platform from around the world. This first distribution agreement for Baebies enables
the expansion of the company's offering in the United States and provides a means to reach other parts of
the world with its products. Baebies is committed to delivering innovative products and services to
expand current options for newborn screening and pediatric testing. The company is also developing
FINDER(TM), a rapid near-patient testing solution that uses low blood volume to quickly perform time
critical tests. Baebies recently announced the launch panel for FINDER to include tests for
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), total serum bilirubin, albumin and direct bilirubin on a
single cartridge for hyperbilirubinemia.

We are thrilled to add the SEEKER platform to our suite of newborn screening products. Overall this
partnership will greatly benefit newborn screening labs across the world by providing a more
comprehensive menu of newborn screening solutions for multiple types of assays, said Nikhil Bedekar,
