Immunotec Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

Immunotec Inc. ("Immunotec") (TSX VENTURE:IMM) announced today that it has
received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") to make a
Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "Bid") to purchase for cancellation, from time to
time, as it considers advisable, up to 1,000,000 of its issued and outstanding
Common Shares (being approximately 1.4% of the 69,674,555 Common Shares
outstanding at May 2, 2013). Purchases will be made on the open market through
the facilities of the Exchange. National Bank Financial will conduct the Bid on
behalf of Immunotec. The price which Immunotec will pay for any shares purchased
will be the prevailing market price of such shares on the Exchange at the time
of such purchase.


The Bid will commence on May 8, 2013 and will terminate on April 30, 2014, or
such earlier time as the applicable Bid is completed or at the option of
Immunotec. Any shares acquired by Immunotec pursuant to the bid will be
cancelled.


Under the Bid made by Immunotec between May 4, 2012 and April 30, 2013,
Immunotec has purchased for cancellation a total of 320,500 Common Shares.


The Board of Directors of Immunotec believe that the current and recent market
prices of Immunotec's shares do not give full effect to their underlying value
and that, accordingly, the purchase of shares will increase the proportionate
share interest of, and be potentially advantageous to, all remaining
shareholders. The normal course purchases will also provide easier access to
liquidity to Immunotec shareholders who would like to dispose of their shares.
