Mainz Biomed N.V. (NASDAQ:MYNZ) (“Mainz Biomed” or the “Company”),
a molecular genetics diagnostic company specializing in the early
detection of cancer, is pleased to announce that Company
representatives will be attending MEDICA 2021 to showcase
ColoAlert, its highly efficacious and easy-to-use diagnostic test
for colorectal cancer. MEDICA, the world’s largest medical trade
fair, takes place in Düsseldorf, Germany from November 15-18th,
2021. Throughout the conference, Mainz will be hosting meetings in
Hall 3, Stand J27.
"On the heels of our successful IPO on Nasdaq this past

forum as we begin ramping-up commercial activities for ColoAlert,
our flagship product," commented Guido Baechler, Chief Executive
Officer of Mainz Biomed.
MEDICA 2021 is expected to attract almost 3000 exhibitors and
visitors from over 50 countries working across all sectors of the
healthcare industry. The 40 year old event brings together leading
figures within healthcare, research, and politics to demonstrate
and discuss the latest innovations in outpatient and clinical care
and themes including laboratory technology and diagnostics, sports
medicine & physiotherapy, big data, interventional imaging and
surgery and telemedicine.
About ColoAlert
ColoAlert detects colorectal cancer (CRC) via a
simple-to-administer test with a sensitivity and specificity nearly
as high as the invasive colonoscopy*. The test utilizes proprietary
methods to analyze cell DNA for specific tumor markers combined
with the fecal immunochemistry test (FIT) and is designed to detect
tumor DNA and CRC cases in their earliest stages. The product is
CE-IVD marked (complying with EU safety, health and environmental
requirements) and is transitioning to compliance with IVDR. The
product is commercially available in a selection of countries in
the European Union. Mainz Biomed currently distributes ColoAlert
through a number of clinical affiliates. Once approved in the U.S.,
the Company’s commercial strategy is to establish scalable
distribution through a collaborative partner program with regional
and national laboratory service providers across the country.

About Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most lethal cancer in the
U.S. and Europe, but also the most preventable with early detection
providing survival rates above 90%. Annual testing costs per
patient are minimal, especially when compared to late-stage
treatments of CRC which cost patients an average of $38,469 per
year. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2021 there will
be approximately 149,500 new cases of colon and rectal cancer in
the U.S. with 52,980 resulting in death. Recent FDA decisions
suggest that screening with stool DNA tests such as ColoAlert in
the US should be conducted once every three years starting at age
45. Currently there are 112 million Americans aged 50+, a total
that is expected to increase to 157 million within 10 years.
Appropriately testing these US-based 50+ populations every three
years as prescribed equates to a US market opportunity of
approximately $3.7 Billion per year.
About Mainz Biomed N.V.
Mainz Biomed develops market-ready molecular genetic diagnostic
solutions for life-threatening conditions. The Company's flagship
product is ColoAlert, an accurate, non-invasive, and easy-to-use
early detection diagnostic test for colorectal cancer. ColoAlert is
currently marketed across Europe. In the USA, Mainz Biomed will
begin the clinical study and regulatory process in the first half
of 2022 for U.S. FDA approval. Mainz Biomed’s product candidate
portfolio includes PancAlert, an early-stage pancreatic cancer
screening test based on Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction-based
(PCR) multiplex detection of molecular-genetic biomarkers in stool
samples, and the GenoStick technology, a platform being developed
to detect pathogens on a molecular genetic basis.
