  indemnify any persons who were, are or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened,
  pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
  investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact
  that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or

      <TD>Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
  be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
  to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
  opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
  the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
  indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
  expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
  Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
  such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
  registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
  been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
  the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
  in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</TD>

  SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates the following documents
  herein by reference:
  (a)
  The Registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
  September 30, 2007, filed with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
  of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), on January 31, 2008.
  (b)

  (c)

  (d)

  All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
  15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration
  Statement that indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
  securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference from the
  date of filing of such documents.
  Item 4. Description of Securities.
  Not applicable.
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  Not applicable.
  -1-
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 ("Section
  145") of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter
  be amended (the "General Corporation Law"), inter alia, provides that a Delaware corporation may
  indemnify any persons who were, are or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened,
  pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
  investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact
  that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or
  was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
  corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees),
  judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
  connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a
  manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with
  respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
  was illegal. In addition, the statutes of Delaware contain provisions to the general effect that
  any director shall in the performance of his duties be fully protected in relying in good faith
  upon the books of account or records of the corporation or statements prepared by any official of
  the corporation.
  The Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that the Registrant shall, to the
  fullest extent permitted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, indemnify
  any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
  completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to
  become, a director or officer of the Registrant. The indemnification provided for in the
  Registrant's certificate of incorporation is expressly not exclusive of any provisions with respect
  thereto in the Registrant's Bylaws or any other contract or agreement between the Registrant and
  any officer, director, employee or agent of the Registrant.
  Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
  any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
  serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
  corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any
  such capacity, arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise
  have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.
  We currently have directors' and officers' liability insurance to provide our directors and
  officers with insurance coverage for losses arising from claims based on breaches of duty,
  negligence, errors and other wrongful acts.
  Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a
  corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
  stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such
  provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the
  director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not
  in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
  Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction
  from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No such provision shall eliminate or
  limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such
  provision becomes effective.
  The Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that the liability of the directors for
  monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent under applicable law. If the General
  Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the
  personal liability of directors, then the liability of a
  -2-
  director of the corporation shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the General
  Corporation Law, as so amended.

  Item 9. Undertakings.
  (a)
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
  (1)
  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
  made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
  (i)
  To include any prospectus required by Section
  10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
  Act");
  (ii)
  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
  events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement
  (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
  individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
  information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
  the
  -3-
  foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
  (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
  that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end
  of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
  of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
  in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
  than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
  forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
  registration statement;
  (iii)
  To include any material information with
  respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
  Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
  the Registration Statement;
  provided, however
  , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above shall not apply if
  the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
  paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
  Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
  that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
  (2)
  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
  Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
  registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
  offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
  bona
  fide
  offering thereof.
  (3)
  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
  amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
  termination of the offering.
  (b)
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
  any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
  pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each
  filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
  Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
  deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein,
  and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
  bona
  fide
  offering thereof.
  (c)
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
  be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
  to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
  opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
  the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
  indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
  expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
  Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
  such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
  registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
  been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
  the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
  in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
