Biophysical Corporation announced today that it has partnered with Amcare Labs International, Inc., an affiliate of Johns Hopkins Medicine International, to offer the Biophysical250 health assessment at the Tokyo Midtown Medical Center in Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo Midtown Medical Center has exclusive rights in Japan to offer the Biophysical250 to their patients.

Biophysical Corporation's Biophysical250 is an innovative health assessment that provides the single most comprehensive evaluation of an individual's health available to date. Compared with standard physicals that typically only look at 20-40 biomarkers (proteins in the blood like glucose and cholesterol), Biophysical250 measures those same biomarkers, plus those used routinely by 12 different medical specialties, including cardiology, oncology and rheumatology, for a total of more than 250 different biomarkers. With a blood sample of approximately two tablespoons, the Biophysical250 provides an assessment that can help indicate the presence of certain diseases and medical conditions at their earliest stages, often before symptoms appear.

"We are delighted to work with innovators in the medical assessment field such as Biophysical Corporation and are pleased that the Biophysical250 will be used by the Tokyo Midtown Medical Center and available in Japan," said Mohan Chellappa, president of Amcare Labs International.

Amcare is in the business of helping clinical labs and medical facilities throughout the world define a new standard of excellence in global medicine by implementing the best laboratory and pathology technologies developed in the United States. Tokyo Midtown Medical Center recommends Biophysical250 to patients who want a comprehensive assessment of their health.

"Our mission is to provide the highest level of medical care in Japan," said Tetsuya Furukawa, president and COO of Tokyo Midtown Medical Center. "After months of careful evaluation we concluded that Biophysical250 is not only the best way to assess an individual's current state of health, but also to track improvement. The results provide our physicians with a comprehensive biomarker analysis that serves as the scientific foundation for further tests that can ultimately lead to the earlier detection of potentially serious conditions and diseases and the development of more effective treatment plans. We are fortunate to have expert guidance from our international partners as we evaluate new medical technologies such as Biophysical250 to benefit our patients. "

Tokyo Midtown Medical Center opened in March 2007 to provide Japanese and foreign executives with world-class medical care and health and wellness programs offered in a luxury environment. As Japan's first affiliation with John Hopkins Medicine International, Tokyo Midtown Medical Center is a comprehensive medical facility that incorporates the most technically advanced medical technology to assess and optimize quality of life for busy executives through thorough health screening, customized physical examinations and personalized health and wellness programs. Located in prestigious Tokyo Midtown, a new-style urban district that features Midtown Tower, the tallest structure in Tokyo, Tokyo Midtown Medical Center is situated at a "global crossroads" in Tokyo's major international business and cultural district that includes over 40 foreign embassies within a mile radius.

"Partnering with Amcare Labs with its affiliation to Johns Hopkins Medicine International provides us entry into unlimited international markets," said George Rodgers, president and chief medical officer for Biophysical Corporation. "We're pleased that our first international partner is Tokyo Midtown Medical Center, an outstanding state-of-the-art health and wellness facility that shares our philosophy on prevention and early detection."
