Gentian Diagnostics ASA, a fast-growing developer and manufacturer of innovative
diagnostic solutions for improved clinical decision making, has entered into a
global distribution agreement for its GCAL® Calprotectin Immunoassay with a
major diagnostic company.

"This is the second distribution agreement for GCAL® announced this year, which
confirms the products' value proposition and market potential. The agreement is
a result of our market development efforts, and the fact that we're gaining
commercial traction with several of the world's leading diagnostics companies
supports our long-term growth ambition," says Gentian Diagnostics CEO Hilja
Ibert.

The cooperation is positioned towards the market for detection and assessment of
inflammatory diseases and infections, with launch scheduled for the first half
of 2023, initially in Europe. Depending on regulatory clearance this product
will be available in additional countries and regions at a later stage.

Gentian's commercial strategy is to secure broad roll-out and acceptance of its
products, which requires distribution and awareness through leading global
diagnostics companies.

The Gentian GCAL® Calprotectin Immunoassay is available in the market for
quantitative measurements of calprotectin in plasma and serum samples and based
on published scientific findings it is expected to become a key clinical value
driver.
