Evanston, IL – Samchully Pharm. Co., Ltd. and TechniKrom, Inc. today announced that they have entered into
an exclusive supply agreement on large scale oligonucleotide manufacturing systems. Under terms of the
agreement TechniKrom will offer its engineering, fabrication, and qualification services to supply 100-mmol

dollar expansion of its manufacturing site in Sihwa, Korea. “We are excited to select TechniKrom, well-known
in the industry for supplying the highest quality HPLC systems and large scale oligosynthesizers; this will be a
key component of our expansion project, targeting clients who are looking for mid-scale siRNA and aptamer
