CARLSBAD, CA, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Applied
Nanoscience Inc. (ANI) (Other OTC: APNN), a nanotechnology-based
filtration development company, today announced the election of
Staffan Lofgren to its Board of Directors. Mr. Lofgren is the
Managing Director of ScanAsia Consulting Ltd., a management
consulting and trading firm with offices in Hong Kong, Beijing and
Shanghai. He brings extensive international business expertise
specifically in the markets of primary interest and focus for the
joint venture product launch of the disposable NanoFense(TM)
Protective Face Mask. Mr. Lofgren will also be instrumental in the
anticipated opening of an Applied Nanoscience subsidiary based in
Hong Kong giving ANI additional strategic advantages and
opportunities in exploiting their broad NEFT(TM) IP platform in
some of the most heavily populated regions of the world. The
company has issued patents in Australia, India, Mexico, New
Zealand, Russia, Singapore and Taiwan combining any nanoparticle
known or engineered to be capable of destroying viruses, bacteria,
fungi or toxins with one or more hydrophobic or hydrophilic
filters. The IP coverage spans the following utilization: the
filter media can be coated with nanoparticles, or have
nanoparticles impregnated into an existing filter to target
specific viruses, harmful bacteria and fungi in ambient air. The
nanoparticles can be in the form of either a powder or a pellet.
When pellets are employed, the hydrophobic or hydrophilic filter is
placed adjacent to the nanoparticles. In addition, ANI continues to
progress on applications for this broad platform covering 40+
countries which remain active around the globe. Mr. Lofgren was
elected to replace Patrick J. Gorman on the ANI Board who remains
in a financial capacity with the company. About ANI ANI is a
marketer and developer of innovative nanotechnology-based air
filtration products specifically targeted to eradicate bacteria,
virus and fungi. Their patent pending antimicrobial NanoFense
formulation can be applied or "coated" on virtually any existing
filter media. The Company is focused on both consumer and
industrial market segments geared to reducing the transmission of
infectious pathogens. Safe Harbor Statement This release may
