ETC's Sterilization Systems Division Announces New Contract

Southampton, Pa, February 16, 2007: - Environmental Tectonics Corporation's (Amex: ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company") Sterilization Systems Division announced today it has been awarded a large contract by a life sciences company for a large cGMP Steam Autoclave. The contract includes an option for additional units.

The autoclave is complete with ETC's unique Advantage Control System to address the 21 CFR Part 11 requirements from the Food and Drug and Administration (FDA). The Advantage controls are the only "off-the-shelf" Sterilizer control system designed specifically to address the FDA requirements for Electronic Recordkeeping, Digital Signatures and Audit Trail Analysis.

John Fay, Technical Director of ETC's Sterilization Systems Division, commented, "We are pleased to add this client to our list of satisfied customers. ETC was selected, in large part, due to our technological innovations in the area of process control systems. Furthermore, our GAMP4 compliant documentation is the most thorough offering in the industry and far outpaces that of our competition, resulting in a quicker and less costly validation to our customers."

William F. Mitchell, ETC's President and Chairman, added, "The significantly improved sales performance this year in our Sterilizer Division reflects our ability to differentiate our niche products through development of new technologies and customer-driven applications. Sophisticated but user friendly software, flexible manufacturing, and a customer-service orientation combined with a dedicated staff have proven to be a successful combination."
