Isonics Unveils New ``Tarant 1'' Mobile Product Platform; Designed to Transport Isonics' NeutroTest to Keep Operators at a Safe Distance from Potential Threats

Isonics Corporation (Nasdaq: ISON), committed to thedevelopment of next-generation technology for the homeland securityand semiconductor markets, announced today the commercial availabilityof a new product platform, the versatile "Tarant 1" robot, designed tomobilize the Company's NeutroTest(TM) and ion mobility spectroscopy(IMS) explosive "sniffing" instruments and providing "stand-off"inspection capability.

The Tarant 1 is the result of a joint development effort betweenIsonics and Scaled Robotics, Inc., of Corona del Mar, California. TheTarant 1, which resembles a space-age moon crawler on three wheels, isabout 20 inches long, by 20 inches wide, by 8 inches high (withoutpayload) and can maneuver effectively over multi-terrain surfaces atspeeds up to 5 to 10 miles per hour.

"The ability to keep the operator out of harm's way while lookingfor improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and other dangerous materialsis a logical improvement," commented James E. Alexander, Isonics'Chairman & CEO. "Not only does Tarant 1 potentially achieve this butprovides extended range and flexibility for our hand-held detectionproducts."

"In addition to carrying Isonics detection instruments, the Tarant1 can be customized with daylight or night vision cameras, or otherthird-party technology depending on the specific mission," said theprototype's lead designer, Richard Rice, CEO of Scaled Robotic Inc.(SRI) "It operates on wireless remote control or can be configured forline control in RF sensitive areas."

Isonics is prepared to start accepting orders for the Tarant 1immediately for first calendar quarter 2006 delivery. Tarant 1 will beavailable either equipped with Isonics detection instruments or can beprovided configured for transport of third-party products.

Pursuant to the agreement between Isonics and Scaled Robotics,Isonics has obtained a 10% equity interest in SRI and has options toincrease its ownership in SRI up to 45%. If Isonics exercises all ofits options, it will also receive exclusive rights to purchase, marketand sell any and all products which SRI may now or in the futureproduce.
