Accelr8 Announces First Quarter 2006 Results

    DENVER, Dec. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Accelr8 Technology Corp.
 (Amex:   AXK) today reported a loss of $772,038, or $0.08 per share, on net
 revenues of $86,388 in its first fiscal quarter ended Oct. 31, 2005.  In the
 comparable quarter of fiscal 2005, Accelr8 reported a net loss of $509,800 or
 $0.05 per share on net revenues of $21,724.
     The company is currently focused on the development of the BACcelr8r(TM)
 diagnostic system, which when fully developed, has the potential to replace
 bacterial culturing by producing test results in a matter of hours.  This is
 in contrast to current methods of traditional culturing which typically take
 several days.
     "The BACcelr8r embodies all three of Accelr8's wholly owned core
 technologies: OptiChem surface chemistry, QuanDx optical detection, and
 YoDx(TM) accelerated assay processing," said David Howson, Accelr8 Technology
 president.  "We believe the same integrated technology combination will
 provide a platform for molecular analysis, as used in genomics and proteomics,
 and molecular diagnostics.  We expect the benefits of BACcelr8r to be very
 high sensitivity, rapid results, high reproducibility, and relatively low cost
 per test and expect the BACelr8r will be initially used in the ICU (intensive
 care units) of hospitals for the diagnosis and treatment assessment of VAP
 (ventilator associated pneumonia)."
     In fiscal 2006 Accelr8 intend to complete technical studies on materials
 and processes to be used in the BACcelr8r system.  The Company believes the
 BACcelr8r will significantly speed up bacterial testing and improve treatment
 outcomes.  By developing and selling the system, the Company intends to
 generate revenues and prove the value of the technology to large diagnostic
 companies.  Accelr8 believes the most significant achievement of the BACcelr8r
 may be its ability to provide the physician with rapid antibiotic
 susceptibility tests results.
