  Toumaz's commitment to the highest quality management standard required for  
     medical device manufacture recognised by independent accrediting body     

Nanoscience Inc, the specialist niche investor in emerging technologies with
strong commercial propositions from within the growing nanotechnology sector,
is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Toumaz Technology
Limited (`Toumaz') has received ISO 13485:2003 certification for its quality
management system. ISO 13485 is the regulatory standard for the international
medical industry and is closely related to ISO 9000. Toumaz (a leading provider
of ultra-low power wireless infrastructure for body monitoring solutions) was
assessed and certified as meeting the requirements of this strategically
significant standard by independent body SGS, the world's leading verification
and certification body.

ISO 13485 is a regulatory requirement in a number of international markets for
the manufacture of medical devices, and forms the cornerstone for the CE
certification of medical products in the EU. Meeting the ISO quality management
standard is a crucial milestone in the ongoing commercialisation of Sensium(tm),
Toumaz's breakthrough ultra-low power wireless platform for the development of
non-intrusive body monitors for healthcare and lifestyle markets. In November
2007, Toumaz took the top honours in the Electronics category of the
prestigious Innovation in Engineering Awards - given by The Institution of
Engineering and Technology - in recognition of the groundbreaking innovation of
the Sensium as an enabling technology for highly valuable medical applications.

Keith Errey, COO, Toumaz, commented:

"We are delighted that Toumaz has been awarded the important ISO 13485
certification, which demonstrates our absolute commitment to quality throughout
the product cycle including the manufacture of medical devices, and which will
offer significant benefits to our customers."

The unique combination of ultra-low power wireless and signal processing in one
small System-on-Chip (SOC) allows the economies of scale of the semiconductor
industry to be harnessed to provide highly functional, robust, low cost,
disposable and non-intrusive monitors for a wide range of healthcare
applications.

The Sensium sensor interface and transceiver platform enables real-time,
intelligent, ultra-low power wireless monitoring of multiple vital signs - such
as ECG, heart rate, body temperature, respiration and physical activity (via a
3-axis accelerometer) - and is currently being developed in both disposable and
non-disposable body monitoring products.
