BIACORE ANNOUNCES SENIOR MANAGEMENT CHANGE

Uppsala, Sweden, November 16, 2004.

Biacore International AB (Biacore) announces today that, with regret, it has
accepted the resignation of Paul James, Senior Vice President of Commercial
Operations. Paul's unexpected decision to resign from Biacore is due to personal
family reasons.

Biacore has initiated the search for a new Senior Vice President of Commercial
Operations, a position that combines global responsibility for sales, product
management and marketing. The Company anticipates appointing an experienced
individual with strong commercial knowledge of the global life science sector to
this position in the early part of 2005. Until a new appointment is made Erik
Wallden, Biacore's President and CEO will assume direct responsibility of all of
the Company's commercial operations.

Erik Wallden, Biacore's President and CEO said: "I would like to thank Paul for
his contribution to Biacore, particularly the important role he played in the
recent Strategic Business Review and his rebuilding of our sales capability in
Europe. Looking ahead, I believe that the recent changes that we have made to
the Company's strategy, management and operational structure have put us in an
excellent position to move forward. I am confident that with the strong team
that we already have in place, allied to the planned recruitment of a new senior
commercial professional, we will achieve our goals of returning to profitability
in 2005."
