Caliper Life Sciences Inc.

Caliper Life Sciences Inc. announced that on March 6, 2008, Dr. Daniel Kisner, who serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of company, informed the Board of Directors that he had decided not to stand for re-election to the Board at the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, when his current term as a Director will expire.

The Caliper Board of Directors expects to elect a new Chairman from its existing members at or around the time of Caliper’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board of Directors also approved a consulting agreement for Dr. Kisner, also to become effective upon Dr. Kisner’s departure from the Caliper Board of Directors.
